I have never heard of one not changing. I have had a slow starter not begin to change for over a year. I'll see about posting a series for an amazon basin emerald. Northerns tend to have pattern when born, kind of what you see is what you get. Basins only show a little of what they are going to have pattern wise and as they change color, pattern begins to show.
