Thumbs up Albino red sailfin/cauli-dorsal swordtail

Sharing my rare albino red sailfin/cauli-dorsal swordtail.
BIG is already not enough to describe their thick dorsal.
They have cauliflower shaped dorsal or cauli-dorsal for short.
Some call them 'firecracker dorsal' as it resemble the Chinese strings of firecrackers used for festive event.
Either way, it's super red and auspicious.
Male pics with light:


Female pics without light:



Hope you guys enjoy!...

Glad u like them... I'm sure most Chinese will love their red looks.
I prefer to put them in bare tank to see their dorsal sa-shay esp when chasing food and courtship.
They are fat (bodied) & thick (dorsal) so it's always good to trim their dorsal as with this quality strain, the dorsal will grow to be too heavy for the males to chase females.
On the other hand, leave the females dorsal intact to slow them down to be chased.
Trimmed dorsal of some breeder males stacking up, please do not be alarm:
