What Strain is this?

[philip69285]

I bought this fish... I dunno when. It was really small and stunted and the time and is now about 3.5inches maybe close to 4inches. Was sold to me as an Albino Golden but I think its something else.

Looks like an Albino Golden, just very pink looking in the picture. Try a shot with the flash on.

Ill have to try again later... its with a camera phone so the pics will never be good. She is totally white LOL.

[hag]

could it be a ghost?

[philip69285]

Eddie when I turn the flash on for my phone I see no different... actually she looks WORSE lol. White fish with already bright tank lights is not an easy capture for my camera phone... but she is white... totally white in color and you can see the blue markings in her face... down then back to the dorsal fin... in both fins and then a little red at the ends... very little. Use to be a lot more red when younger but getting to be less.

Got me! It doesn't look like a golden albino. Snow white cross maybe?

[philip69285]

Yeah after looking at the fins it doesnt have any red like it use to... its fading away to nothing. I paid 10 bucks for her LOL... as long as she doesnt look stunted and what not I guess im good... I have had her a while and she is finally growing at a good rate :). I just wanted to know what she was because she does but doesn't look like a golden albino LOL.

could it be a ghost?

Ghosts look a bit more grayish white and usually have white eyes, oftentimes, they will show the bar in the tail and through the eye like this photo on the NADA site.

I don't know of anyone who has created an albino ghost yet (doesn't mean it doesn't exist). :)

Hmmm well that would be cool if it was an albino ghost LOL. I dunno what she is really... I look at pictures of albino goldens and can see it but not really... a few different things about my fish that make it different. Hopefully someone will know what it is... maybe its a cross LOL. Either way I love her to death and she has changed a lot since I have had her.

I think you have an interesting looking fish, I like it!

it looks to me like an albino golden(alenquer) or an albino turq, judging from the striations in the face and fins. It is not very unnormal to have an appearance like this. I guess it does not have ghost gene, as one of the major traits of ghost is striation-free. Once I saw some albino ghosts on one of the posts of a farm in malaysia, but I forgot which...they look to me like albino snow white except for the forehead region...also there are few ghost-based albinos, like Mr. Ung Seng Lip once had some albino calico before...

Hmmm I would love it to be one of those two Vss as I find them far more beautiful LOL.

[SHAWN WARDLE]

I believe it is a snow white cross also.

[Scribbles]

One more vote for a Snow White cross.

[philip69285]

Hmmm wonder what its crossed with LOL... one may never know hehehe. Glad it so far is not a golden albino... also you guys dont think she is stunted anymore right?

[mmorris]

How old is she? Don't like golden albinos?

[philip69285]

Nop that I really dont. Well I got her I forget when last year... I have maybe had her about 6-8months and she was like 2inches or less when I got her and she was stunted back then. But she has made a huge comeback these past 2 months and growing like crazy.

[mmorris]

If she's 8-10 months old she should get a bit bigger.

[philip69285]

Cool Cool... if she gets like 4.5inches Ill be super happy :). Especially from being stunted to this its great LOL.

[tdiscusman]

I think it's albino snow white as well, if the pupil are red (can't tell by the picture) then it's definitely an albino and not a crossed.

[philip69285]

well she is an albino i know that for sure... she does have the red pupil LOL

[bs6749]

My vote is for an albino white butterfly.

[philip69285]

That would be really cool hehehe... maybe Ill take a picture of her for you guys when she hit 4-4.5inches... she is getting there.
