Keep them in a bare tank with whitish background and base and see what it'lll turn into.

no morph
just a regular silver
its either stressed of it just has those colors
it will gain normal color as it either grows or settles in.
I knew substrate/background colour, lighting etc. could alter the fishes appearence but i didn't realise it could alter so much, Thanks for the info guys much appreciated

haha without "connections" the cheapest silver i've seen was $200 from a private seller, a LFS near me has them for $500 @ 6"
I've seen a 14" florida gar for $3000
Asian Aro's......$3500+
The price of "exotic" fish in australia is crazy BUT you can find some good deals if you have connections and look deep enough.
I found what i consider a good deal the other day.... 6" senagal birchir for $100, and a 6" Clown knife for $100 also, Both from private sellers.
In shops i've seen a tank full of 6" ornate going for $650ea and 6" CK going for $250ea, The crazy thing is their able to move them.... Someone's paying those prices
