Does anyone know where (if they're even a naturally occuring morph) light coloured, almost white salvini like the male in this photo natually occur?

Interesting. Are you sure that's not just lighting that's making that fish look like that? Got any more pictures?

Definitely not impossible for it be real either--that fish isn't that light colored in the photo.
 
Looks almost like glare from the flash of a camera. But you never know. I never heard or seen of a Sal with this coloring, though I don't think it is impossible.
 
Up until yesterday I had a female that was pretty much entirely white and black with no trace of yellow, red or blue whatsoever. The place I purchased her said she was a captive bred fish and they had no idea of her lineage. All of the salvini they carry are extremely drab and normally greyish with very little colour. The little female caught my eye being all fired up and still completely lacking any trace of other colours.

This particular picture might be flash now that I look more closely.
