There no silk in him. You probably see blue thinking its silk. He is very green. The tank he's in is painted all black on both sides, back, and bottom. I also use a white actinic so thats why hes blue. I have used black environment on lots of green pearly kamfa and using the environment makes them blue. Of course its not an official tanking. Its has resemble of a tanking. Chonburiman know that its not a real tanking, but it resemble one cause of it features. Thats why he sold it as a tanking, but i'll still call it a tanking.

A tan king is gold pearls and their pearls are lined up or patterned like someone drew on it. It's not random patches like that. Muscular has nothing to do with a Tan King or Kamfa at all. The muscular body itself only comes from a ZZ. Square and compact are from Kamfa.
And trust me, all those fish from Chonburiman has Thai Silk bred in them. Kamfa does not come extreme armored pearl like that naturally just by breeding them with one another. In order to have that armored pearl, you need an armored pearl fish. And that's what Choburiman uses, a Thai Silk. Cross that with a KK female and you get that. Now if you were to cross it over to a KKP female, the pearls will thin out a little bit and their face will be a baby Kamfa face(notice how some of the ones with white eyes and barely any thick armor pearls turn out to be - KKP was involved). By the way, Thai Silk have a green tint to it also...not just blue. High quality Thai Silk are metallic silver, good luck finding one.

Congrats on your new fish, very nice indeed.

Having said that I agree with Big_One, it most certainly has Thai Silk in it, and it is definitely not Tan King.

Don't get caught up in sellers name games, enjoy the fish for what it is.
