Just wondering if this lil guy is a green dragon

Can anyone confirm this?

Its a little hard to tell from the pics but it appeArs so...green dragons colors change at times you will see a paler greenish yellow mix in with the olive!

Thank you very much. I hadnt seen any with the tail colouration, but after lots of google browsing i found a few. He does have paler patches of green as well which sounds like a good sign. My camera just sucks..

The pleco was yellow when i picked it up from some ladies house. Looking wayyy better now

From the amount of white showing on the tail fin it's still a young one. Is that a small cichlid stone in the pics?

Thanks ... he is a juvi (forgot to mention that)
And yes, that is a cichlid stone about the size of my hand, i also have 8 pleco caves and 6 pieces of driftwood. (That stone was just to add a little variety... theyre not very fond of it, it seems lol

I've only found cichlids actually using cichlid stones a few times (aside from ducking in when the tank is being stripped down for cleaning) but young male BN find the small stones quite acceptable. Yours would be a medium size.
