shouldnt it be born a snow?
very nice fish btw
and no im not jealous
oh come on del giv up and admit it
how big is he now? Looks like a much bigger tank too! You should seriously try to get the biggest tank you can and see if you can breed that thing. If 1 of it's offspring was a snow, you'd be rich. That is truely an amazing find! Good eye in noticing it's difference from the others. I can't believe that LFS didn't see it!
Little off topic, but: I used to collect coins, and I used to visit this coin store in the city on my lunch break with a friend I worked with. We used to dig through buckets of silver dimes that they had for $.50 each. Mostly mercury dimes looking for the famed 1916 "D" worth anywhere from $350 for a total piece of trash up to $10,000 for a nice one. Well, one day, we hit it! My friend found a 16D in that mess. He gathered up a few other coins and we went to check out. The lady looked at what he had and said "I can't sell you this for $.50". We were both very P.O.d We told her that we didn't come in there every other day and sort coins for THEM. We were looking for those valuable coins in the mess of junk and we should be able to buy it for $.50. She wouldn't have it, so we left and never went back.
Similar story I guess, but we weren't so lucky...

he is 12+ inches and im moving in the near future and hope to have it in a 300g tub. and yes i still am on the lookout hoping to find another
there better be a d*** tight lid on that tub!!!!!
i was looking at other pics of known snows and the smaller ones DO have some red coloring on the edges of their fins. dude you know the value of this fish right?? its like a swimming house. practically priceless, ive only ever heard of 3 recorded other ones.

Don't worry about finding another one, just get the biggest tank you can find and get another couple silvers that size. If they breed, even with a silver, theres a better chance of another leucistic offspring. (I think???) of course, introducing other aros may stress him too... It's a gamble.
That is one rare fish! Beautiful. I personally would rather have a snow silver than an asian.
this is franks site on stingrays, and he has the famous albino leo. this might help with the genetics of things if you are going to start breeding http://www.freshwaterstingray.nl/1Engels/New variant.html
