Actually not so duh. GSP and Ceylons both have significantly different adult markings.

All of the adult GSPs I've seen have the same markings as juveniles.

this is the best one ive seen -- and the people seemed to agree

i believe from other posts, that this one is now at 4" which is big for a fig 8

A lot of the pictures I've seen of older GSPs lose the circular shape of the spots. A local reef keeper has a 10 year old GSP in his reef tank, and almost none of the spots are circular anymore. I've always thought their markings changed a lot when they got to full size.

What about this F8:


Is that how it's suppose to look when it's full grown

I'd be extremely worried if my Figure 8's showed that coloring.

why does that one look so different from the rest of the f8s? i think the pic is from liveaquaria.com

Because that F8 is so stressed he's nearly turned black where he should be white, it's a response to poor water quality or other poor conditions, generally.

That looks like a drawing.

im gonna get puffy to grow like pepsi's is

yeah, when i saw that picture i was under the impression that f8s were ugly. i saw more pictures and realized that they were awesome! i think i'm going to get two f8s for my tank instead of a gsp, since my tank does not seem to hold that much water. it's actually a 28 bowfront, but it looks to hold 25 gallons of water.
