I seem to recall the ones I had being gold with a blue head. They were quite peaceful and liked soft water.
Did you get any H. sp. Guinea II? Those are the big (all gold) ones.

Yeah, I believe the Guinea II are the gold ones.
Based on the pics I've seen online, the Guinea I form is described as being mostly a dark red (looks to me like a muddy red rather than a bright red) and I think depending on how the camera flash hits the gill spots and dorsal edges are anywhere from blue to green. I see more green online, but some appear blue. They're also a bit deeper bodied than some of the other jewels.
The so all seem to have a dark vertical stripe that's quite visible in the dorsal fin so I plan to get out the good camera and flashlight tonight to take a look.
So far, these are still quite young so they haven't really finished developing yet. But, their stress colors are quite different than my H. lifalili. Not that that's diagnostic, but it makes me think they're not quite the same as what I've already got.
