i got no comments.. That's the market value for high shine platinum.

This thread is really interesting - have always had some fascination for silver aros bcos of its grace in swimming and size potential (easily bigger than reds).

The snow / platinum variety is just out of this world.

Being an absolute newbie in silvers, may I ask if there are any 'special' requirements for looking after these silver / platinums eg tank environment etc. In the context of red aros, 'special' requirements would mean eg dark tank background, tanning, slightly acidic water etc. Am trying to understand to figure out if I can use my current tank for it (just thinking )

i cannot confirm from the video or pic. Need to see the fish physically. But based on his own description.. You should have an idea . It's a rare to own.. Nice one too.

I'm really confused and don't understand what's the difference between the definition of snow and platinum.

Aren't they characterized as a loss of pigmentation in the animal except for their eyes (look up leucistic animals or leucism).

Platinum means metallic shine?

Snow means matt white?

Is this the official definition of genetic defects given to fishes? How about mammals, birds or reptiles?

Got platinum lion? means a white shiny lion?

They are just adjectives to describe the color. If not how do you differentiate a Matt white silver and a shinny white silver? If you will differentiate them using snow and platinum adjectives.. would you describe a shiny silver as snow or platinum ?

The first silver I saw, the shine is as good as those ribbon fish (not.those seen in the wet market that has lost their shine).

A silver is commonly identified & known as silver at that time........ din know there is so many types of silver . By the way would like to know are the different names like plat, normal, snow white......are original breeds? Or just fancy names from the commercials?
