Bluegill Longfin

I got this fish on January 4th 2019, i was in the market for a marine betta but saw this rather unremarkable fish sitting in the lfs in the back of a crowded tank. He looked brown and mottled, but since I have a thing for ugly fish I inquired about him. All the lfs could tell me was that he was a “plesiops betta” and that he would be fine in my tank. So I did a quick google search and bought him. Got him home and he was still a gray/brown camouflage color but after he settled in his color changed dramatically. He’s a very dark blue with bright iridescent blue spots, and a large bright blue spot on each gill. Photos really don’t do this fish justice, the blue is very deep and seems to almost glow. He still changes to his camouflage coloration at night or when stressed, but during the day he looks pretty stunning. He doesn’t seem to have grown since I got him, he’s about 6 or 7 inches which is suspect is his adult size.
