These are just a few
pictures of my Parachromis Friedrichstahlii with expressed Xanthic
gene. I have owned this fish for around 7 months, and I
estimate that he is about a year old. He has always displayed
the traditional colors for his species. One day, I noticed
his black coloration fading, and became worried that he was ill.
Two days later, the only colors on him were yellow and white.
He is as happy as can be, and thus the only possibility is
that he is of the extremely rare Xanthic variety of his species.
I have not found any other examples of such on the internet.
I plan to breed him with his girlfriend in the near future.
If anyone would like fry, let me know.

Ain't he cute :)
