Platinum endlicheri bicher inquiry.

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
^ that doesn't change your prospective platinums, those bichirs are just crazy washed out aka WTT (white tank treatment). My buddy has an endli on white sand and it looks like that all the time. If they're common plecos I would trade em just because I personally would rather have the bichirs even if it is WTTs, unless you got like green phantoms or some crazy rare panaque

Interesting buffalo. Not common plecos in trade. The bichirs are in a tank with black sand and too much wood to photo clearly. How long does a treatment take to wear off? I'm surprised there is such a method as wtt. I can understand tanning a fish but to make it lose color, very interesting concept. A fish on a light substrate will obviously be lighter. But to make the scales white and metallic, hmm. Not a melanistic trait, like how some melanistic snakes look purplish in regards to the pattern. Input.

Basically in the end they arnt platinums and me being a former pleco nut myself it's not worth trading unless you just really don't want the plecos anymore
You would be better off just buying a endli outright because depending on what you have for plecos they are most likely worth more then the endli

The scales of those Endli you posted are not white. Fish scales are generally shining/metallic. Look at the one in my avatar. It has the same color with zero pattern since it was the same size, if not smaller than the one you posted

Oic. Thanks for all the input. So this is just a common endlicheri then?

Sorry Jin. I'm using a cell and can't expand your photo.
