They weren't 100% white. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buzaqq/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com |

Posts: 2623 Kudos: 2462 Votes: 337 Registered: 29-Mar-2003   | It really depends on there genetics...if they are 100% pure white mollies, then yes, they will stay white, if not then you never can tell:%)only way to know if you don't know the family tree of said mollies is to get them and breed them and find out...hml "I've got a great ambition to die of exhaustion rather than boredom."

IMO i guess it depends on their background or what sorrounds them, it's like they camouflage to what sorrounds them... i've seen some white (not purely white though, it's like a bit of transluscent) turned into dark brown or greyish with planted background. Maybe hiedi is right about their genes too.  |

chelaine Big Fish Posts: 383 Kudos: 343 Votes: 78 Registered: 23-Jul-2005 | I have a white molly that so far has stayed white throughout the year i've owned her. She looks like she could have some silver tips on her dorsal fin... But other than that, i have not personally dealt with color changing. *Chelle* I love the fishes cuz they're SOOO delicious... |
