A different variation of WCMM?

I picked up 5 WCMM at my LFS yesterday but they are a different variation, are they albino? or something else?

I hope this picture is okay as they are really hard to capture!

I didnt really look at the picture too closely last night but looking at them you may get a surprise in a few days or so as they adapt to your tank and their true colours really come out.

The red on their tails and dorsal fins will really start to deepen, and you should see a single Black spot in the tail fin and creamy white tips to the dorsal fins and the bodies will become a rich golden colour. They are a very under rated fish IMO

I found 4 of this type at my LFS a couple of months ago and I think they are just beautiful. WCMM are my favorite fish anyway. I was afraid their color would fade as they matured but it hasnt. They are still the beautiful golden color.

They are really cool fish. They arealso appropriate for a cool water tank as well. I Had some in my hillstream loach tank as dither fish and the minnows spawned.
