:;rudolph bought some rail tail sharks, guy included one "Whitetail Black Shark" have you ever heard of one? the only pic i could find was a auction on aquabid
As you probably noticed, the white shark looks exactly like the rts other than coloring. From what I understand a "Whitetail Black Shark" is simply an rts with pigment deficiency in it's fins. Like an albino rts, but opposite. Probably bred by selecting pinker fins to eventually white, or breeding fish that lack the fin pigment. I had some white rainbow sharks a month ago but now have a single normal rbs. Is this what you have?
Good morning. I agree with CWB. Seems I read something along those lines a long time ago. Sorry, I don't have any written information to show you. Ken
Another thing to note (you're link won't load) is that stress can cause RTS to lose pigment in their tail. Check out the RTS tank at the local fish stores, most of them have a washed out tail b/c they're not the dominant fish in the tank and are trying to hide. This guy however looks it's a mutation, possibly deliberate.
yes cwb looks like that picture, kinda glad i got it, not something i see everyday thats for sure really red "This guy however looks it's a mutation, possibly deliberate." when i get him in my tank ill get alittle video together
Our RTS's tail when white when we introduced a couple of new fish - within a day or two he was fine again and has now plumped up and almost doubled in size - stress can cause them to go funny like that
