Platinum Senegal?????

[Slayer2533]

Hi guys as you know I recently started breeding Senegals. I am trying to confirm if the Senegal on the left (the lighter coloured sen) is a platinum sen or just a normal sen. When compared to the other sen on the right to me I believe it is definitely not a normal sen. Let me know your thoughts. Sorry the pictures aren't ideal just snapped a couple as I left for work. let me know your thoughts.

Does look like a plat *at first glance*. Very tricky to tell when it's in a light based tank. Put in it a dark (preferably black) based tank for a week or two and you'll get a definitive answer as to whether it's plat or not.

If that is the case then why are two like this and two standard coloured sens in the same tank?

The Senegal could have gone through a white tank treatment. Bottom line is a plat Senegal is worth $200+ and fish stores aren’t that dumb to sell for $20 or less.

How many did you have make it to that size? Out of how many total?
I ask this as I have a mix of males and females in my tank and I've seen some amorous attention from a couple of my males toward a couple females.
