Platinum Delhezi or NOT..

[tokyogasmask]

I hate to say but I'm sure this is not platinum.
All my Delhezi have black eyes.
The fish in question is in white tank treatment environment.

Here is a pic of my Turkana P. Bichir Bichir that normally has yellowy orange eyes.

This is when I first got it home after it had been kept in white tank environment.
1 week later, on black sand it turned very dark green, and all it's patterns came out.

My money is it being the same with the OPs Delhezi.

We shall see...

i dont know it was in white tank treatment environment or not, the fish still in the seller place, iam just a brocker in this case..
but, if i put the fish in the dark place in a few days and the colour still like that, is still we can't call this platinum!!

some plat poly's color are still mutating, however its still a 50:50 chance. So I supposed let it be in a darker tank for the moment, at least till the dels grow a bit more, and keep us updated with the pics.

we shall see after it settles in a tank with dark substrate.

My PBB took a little over a week to get it's color back, for you to sell this as a plat without it having a good few weeks to make sure it really is, that's just wrong IMO.

Imagine how pissed would the buyer be if the delhezi's colour come back and turns out just to be a regular delhezi which can be brought for a mere fraction of what he paid for a platinum delhezi.
