Platinum or just WTT effect?

Would be great to hear the community’s thoughts on this

Looks like a regular Senegalus to me.

I'd say white tank treatment, platinums are usually a pure white

Same bichirs in a tank for reference purposes, first pic has a normal sen in the foreground. Still WTT or could it be plat?

I'm thinking the yellowish/reddish/pinkish tone towards the caudal fin gives it away. That means the erythrophores and xanthophores are still pumping out pigment, ruling out complete leucism.

They are normal Senegals. Mine looked exactly like this when I first got them and they were younger. Once I went from bare bottom to a black sand they darkened up like the other sen pictured.

Round 2 guys: true plat or WTT? First pic is Bichir #1, second and third pic are pics of Bichir #2. The black markings on the tail’s really clouding my judgment on this.
