Amatitlania nigrofasciataIs the name for both of the fish. There is no actual name for the "pink" variation, except that it's a Amatitlania nigrofasciata showing it's 'leucistic' coloration, that's what you call it, but it isn't an actual name for it. The name remains the same.

i was looking for technical term for the coloration in pink convicts., such as leucism or lutinoism. for instance, you would call an albino oscar technically lutino, whereas an "albino" channel cat it lecusitic. thanks for the answer

yeah they are leucistic, but now youv got me wondering what is the difference between leucistic and lutino?

 

[BlackShark11k]

good question!

so now i look that up, and apparently we've been using lutino wrongly all along!??? apparently lutino is just a common way of saying xanthic??? where's oddball when you need him...

Yeah, they're leucistic. So are gold severums I'd say. Albino oscars are albino, they have red eyes. Lutino I thought was just a common name, for oscars etc. like my old albino that have some black on them (black fins in the case of lutino oscars).
