Nice! I like the one with the yellowish fins. Have you noticed any effects on the coloration of the scales being in a white tank? How about any effects on behaviour?

They will become pale and yes, that piece is different from the rest. Instead of becoming pale white, it become yellowish tinted all round. I got 3 different looking kinda silvers in there infact.
As for behaviour, they seen to tone down from aggression already and they're swimming together most of the time.

Thats interesting, i guess thats one solid case opposing the "Dark background reduces aro aggresion" theory. Are you satisified with the look of the tank? Ive seen this done with Jardini when i was in living in Japan. Good job on the community bro! I hope it continues to stay on the peaceful side.
