Well Its Taken 3 Years for these to surface in the Hobby again. This time Rob knew what they were and bought as many as the supplier had. Again they are Zebras and Have the Distinctive Saphire Blue Eyes as Before.
I bought a Group of 12 of them @ £1 Each which was a Steal.
I Have put them all outside in my Snail and Live Food Bin (40Gallons), So they have plenty of Food to feed on. I will however supplement with normal Feeds.
I am Hoping that they will breed and i can offer them on to people on here.

This one still has a tiny bit of Blue/Purple pigment in him, the other are completely Pink/White.

they have been in the hobby here for more than 6-7 years and now these are so common here, that i use this fish for teaching my bettas to eat pellets, and i also use these to cycle my tanks as well as feeders when i wanna see predation in my tanks.
mostly leucistic and some times albino
 
Cool, they are very new here. Last time they were in a few shops culled them thinking they were ill as they were piebald. I kept them and they turned to this color.
 
So the Females are Nice and Eggy.
I do not know if the below is normal as have never had any Leucistic Females before. The top of them is now Red/Pink. Don't know if this is normal and just not able to see this in normal zebras.

The Males are Easily Visible Now as they have a 2 Neon Blue Lines Running Parallel along the Backs of them.

Could not catch any as tooo Fast So shopped a Pic for illustration of the Females. Will Try and catch some for some better pix.
