Leucisitic Red Devil should I pick up?

[BuffaloPolypteridae]

Saw a leucy mixed in with the regular red devils at the LFS, should I pick it up? Its totally different, with an orange-white main color and black eyes. Is it worth way more then 3.50? That's what he's selling it for haha

I say get it and I'd pay more than 3.50 but I'd jump on it if its that price

Thanks guys I may grow this guy out and sell him to some cichlid lover, not too big of a fan of em, I'm gonna go back tmw and see if I can't snag it. About to go do some research on em, you guys think it would do good in my 30 ga grow out for a bit? W/ a palmas polli, albino Senegal bichirs and a leopard ctenopoma?

I have read that they can be very aggressive to other fish and may kill those.

I'd get it. But they grow very fast and 30 gal will be too small within no-time.
I don't know whether or not he will attack the other fish when he is small. Usually aggression kicks in when they reach 6-7 inch.
But adding a Red Devil to that stock is not something I would advise.
