Rarity of a leucistic CAE?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
JDman, can you get any pics of him?

Santoury, I wouldnt say that they are common. I work at a LFS and get a few dozen a week and this is the first Ive seen.
 
They are white - they are common if you look high and low, but you're right, they are often missed.

I will see what I can do tomorrow night...he really knows how to hide. I think that he has already doubled in size in the last 2 weeks.

Has anyone else ever seen one of these?
 
JD see the photos of mine. Got 3 of 'em in my pond.
 
I'd be interested to hear, too.
 
Having to look "high and low" for a common fish doesnt make since to me.

I wouldnt say that they are the rarest fish out there, but uncommon....sure.

He did have alot of algae to eat in that tank if I remember correctly!
 
What I meant by high and low is, only a FEW lfs carry the gold ones in any quantity, and the white ones sneak in, hence the "search" But the fact they pop up in those shipments makes me think they're plentiful, but we just don't see them.

Interpretation: I don't know.
