Erythristic Florida Gar ' Snow Red'

yes this defect is due to an absent in certain pigment or an excessive amount of another. I'm just saying diet is known to cause erythrism as well. there was a case where a culture of bees fed on the syrup of a darker colored plant that produced a reddish sap/syrup thus in turn altered the coloration of the bees. if these gars are in fact bred with this pigmentation defect then I would trust the color will stay unless it corrects itself as it ages. if it's caused by something added in the diet and enhanced through red lighting then I would be nervous as the color will probably change back once that supplementation is removed from their diet. either way they are a nice gar but not worth as much as platinums or snow white. they look normalish
look at the little red spot on the bottom of the tank and the back is reflecting red. there is red lighting as well but that's just to show off the red
doesn't matter if they will fade or not, he send them to LA so it is basically an illegal sell.
