Is This A Natrual Color Morph?

[HUKIT]

I was watching YouTube video on Predatory Fins channel. They were in China, I believe and they were filming a huge display tank and there were a handful of large dats. What wizardry is used this get that color, are these just line bred xananthic fish? In the back it looks like a leucistic with some marbling.They said in the video they didn’t think they were dyed or dipped.

Definitely not a natural color morph.

IMO It is an ordinary dat, that has greyed out, or even washed out to almost translucent. It is in a blue tank with lots of coloured lights. And then the whole picture (or video as you saw it), has been highly and carefully colourized. You can see lots of red dots all over the lower left quarter of the picture.

Certainly this is not real.

Most likely, someone trying to palm off an ordinary dat for an extraordinary price.

Cannot be line bred. Although a few ridiculous claims, no dats have ever been captive bred even one generation.
