Not a black volta endli but from white volta. White volta endli were the very first ghana volta endli that were sold.
how much more common or uncommon are these white Volta endlis? Or are they about the same availability?

They used to be very common back in 2003-2008. But due to many have paler patterns, they do not sell a lot. Then the black volta appeared in 2010 and have much more desirerable patterns to many hobbyist thats why they are now showing up more.

Here was my former white volta. One of the few that have darker patterns.

What are the differences in a BV and WV? Compared to everyone else's BV mine has always been different so it makes me wonder. Mine looks almost like yours, but a little lighter and not as distinct patterns.

Black volta usually resembles a faranah endli or a sp. dabola from Tinkisso. But they all have that solid half bars start from back of the body. Then becomes messy or none at all from lateral line going down.

Could u post of urs? It's probably a white volta that got mix or mislabeled as black volta.

Meanwhile, just got another White Volta today.. Here are a couple pics. I'd like to see how these two growouts will turn out when older. Still in the large bag and will be for a few hours.
