I have imported many CB delhezi which looks like that from Indonesia none of them turn white. Only way to turn them white is to place them in a white tank or stress it out.
A leuaistic bichir is born leusistic. It cannot change while it's growing.
eversince people are starting breeding palmas here in Indonesia, there are tons n tons of bichirs variants like that resulted from very very bad gens, those bichirs are then claimed to be platinum, but its really NOT one.. Yet the breeders started making their own name for the bichirs just to trick the buyers, ie, semi-plats??? I wouldn't spend a penny on those. Better wait than regret..

It's either you are or you're not. You can't be part platinum and part regular.ebink;4509197; said:
Platinum is pure genetics. Leucism doesn't increase or decrease with age.Platinum "fish"- black eyes and pure snow white color all over. Absolutely no patterns or other colors. To test if the fish is a true platinum, put him in a black tank. If he stays pure white its platinum, change colors its regular.

not every small plat bichir will look pure white except plat senegal coz the senegal don't hv marking on their body.yes i hv look plat li long time ago..but it can not be used as a benchmark to assess all the platinum delhezy will look the same as li plat del..a normal bichir will have difference marking on their body,some with full marking and some bichir with less marking and it will also apply to the platinum bichir the most important thing is the color base on the bichir,if the bichir look from side view and top view look metalic and not white i 100% sure it's a platinum..some plat del and plat endli or albino del will hv a less pattern on his body when they born but it will disappear when they grow up and turn into creamy..it's just my opinion coz i hv look some plat del and plat endli with some marking when they born 
did u notice the tail fin on that del?leucistic can change,that happen to my leucistic snapp turtleKing-eL;4509221; said:

but u won't believe it if u didn't see with u'r own eyes 
ebink: Stop debating otherwise, it is not a platnium fish it has black markings on it therefore not Platnium. And the definition of Luesisim(sp) is lack of ALL Color. Albinisim is Lack of black/dark pigment. I'm caucasian does that make me Albino or luestic?
