I mean I'm not saying I'm not gonna like the fish. But I don't like paying 5x what it's worth.

So what do I call this failed investment? High-shine?
 
i would call it plat still..cant really tell
your pictures/video your posted got too much color noise such as lightning and background noise to tell and i checked youtube for the plat jardini and yours is up there
 
Also you should keep this in mind, leucistic Jardinis are rare. LFS in US wouldn't get a chance to obtain them. They would go to Japan or other Asian countries(like other rare fish). Leucistic Jardinis are even more rare than albino Silver Aros. You don't see any LFS in US with an albino Silver. Albino silvers cost several thousand in Asia. Imagine how much a leucistic Jardini would cost you. $1500 seems awfully cheap for a leucistic Jardini.

Well that's why I was excited about it. And it definitely looked it in P1, just thought maybe it was stressed in the store. I mean, this thing isn't worth more than any other Jardini, right? So maybe at most $200.

bro nevermind numbers. A fish is worth as much as the enjoyment of its owner

Yeah well it's a swimming reminder of how much I paid for it right now, as are the cheap dumplings I'm gonna be eating for a month. I'd have happily made the sacrifice if the fish retained some kind of value, and was rare, but this is just a normal fish they stressed out apparently. So I feel jipped, and that sort of cuts the enjoyment, as it were.

To paraphrase Dr. Orpheus from Venture Bros., "She was just a walking reminder of our mutual shame."

It's not a high shine. It's just a regular Jardini put through WTT..

So the plat/hi-shine silver aro I saw Hao selling is only worth $350? Is that because it has drop eye or just cause leuc silvers are more common?

As an aside, I think I'll call this an "I-Can't-Believe-It's-Not-Platinum" aro, and hire Fabio to market it.

I believe theres 2 types of leucisticism. Hao's high shines are the less desired than the other type. The "Snow White Silvers" you hear about is the other type. High shines are still rare. Honestly, Hao would answer this question a lot better than I can cause his forte is Ancient Fish.
