What is his color morph?

 

[Dreamsofpeace54]

pics didnt work but if u click on the links they do.

so im curious what color morph do u guys think he is?

 

[cichlaguapote]

Saw him earlier.. Leutistic or platinum?\

Weird he just changed color?

 

[Dreamsofpeace54]

platinums are white from the get go right?

i was thinking xanthic but it says they lose all but the yellow pigments and hes monstly white with a tiny bit of yellow on the fins.

 

[killerfish]

that would be leutistis

 

[Dreamsofpeace54]

so we all agree on leucistic?

anyone else seen a leucistic senegal bichir?

 

[Cohazard]

Leucistic is the same thing as platinum, but I thought they were born all white?

You sure that's the same fish? I see some kinks in the dorsal fins of the juvie that I don't see in the second set of pics. Those sort of fin defects don't mend.

 

[Dreamsofpeace54]

well i had 3
all were that color when i first got them

hes the only one left.

Pics from like 2 minutes ago.

The painted black background/bottom/sides hasent changed him one bit.

IGNORE THE RED EYES, THATS JUST FROM THE CAMERA
