THE Oddball Cichla thread

[jcardona1]

I posted this pic a few years back from a LFS in Hong Kong. At the time it looked like a leucistic/Plat Tem. Looking at it again in my new HD monitors is reinforcing the thought...lol. Some argue it was faded or stressed, but I dont see a single hint of camouflaged colors. Its almost as white as the Giant gourami in the same tank, and if it were faded, I dont think the black in the tail would look as strong as it does. Wish there were more pics....

wow thats amazing. stressed or faded my behind! that is a WHITE cichla!!!!

My thoughts exactly...Anyone in Hong kong? Im sure I can find what store it was again if you want to scope it out for us

sorry to disappoint you all, I have seen that fish, and they had a few more in there before, its not white. the tank is clear front and back, and the fish really fades out.

that photo must have been from about 6 years ago. that tank is no longer there, and neither are those fish. I go there about once a year in the past decade
