I have no idea what to call this fish but I know for sure that it is lighter than any ornate I ever owned.
The fish does not seem faded as the dorsal fin is really black, which creates a great contrast.
I have no idea what it is, but i'd rather have a regular one... BUT since you already have a normal one and if had one as well I'd like it just as much! If you get what i mean.
Things don't always come out as good as they sound in your head....
I agree that I like the regular ornate better, so does my brother.
The light color did make it stand out from the others litter mates I raised with it; which is why I kept it.
Just curious what is a good price for a 5" ornate? I saw one for sale for $30, idk if that is considered pricey.
