It should be a nice fish if placed with a darker or black background. The features of the fish will then be reflected. Cannot really judge well with the transparent background. I guess it will not make the fishes appealing to the buyers in aqua bid.

I like the fish..especially when there is some violet tinge to the color. U saw my own creation of Topaz Blue...how does this compare ?

Your fish has a nicer dorsal and tail compared to this pair. They have a darker shade of whitish baby blue which can be more appealing to viewers (from a distance) contrasting to the light pale whiteish violet blue. The blue diamond has a light violet coating on the body on a closer look contrasting your blue topaz.

In terms of body and finage, your fishes have an edge. Colour wise, it is individual preference and I can say that coat of violet does make it a little more special.

This is Taiwan Blue topaz. There is a difference in blue diamond and blue topaz. Dr Yeo's blue topaz is also different from my blue topaz.

Sure no problem. Seems that there are a lot of variations of blue topaz or blue diamond.
