Species profile

Ardentiella sp "Tricolor"

Often regarded as the original collector's Ardentiella, "Tricolor" is instantly recognisable by its vivid crimson head and tail, glowing golden-yellow bands, and deep charcoal-black dorsal plates. The clean separation between all three colours creates a dramatic appearance.

"Tricolor" is the original three-coloured species that inspired several selectively bred Ardentiella varieties, including the popular "Scarlet" morph
