I found this at work today, a particularly beautiful white cloud. It looks almost like normal one, but it has bright yellow dorsal and anal fins, and its body looks like someone sprinkled gold dust on it.

It's not the normal golden white clouds, as though have are semi-albino and have pale bodies. This one is nowhere near albino, and still has a brown body (with the gold iridescences).

The fish was mixed in with a shipment of normal white clouds, so I think it might be some kind of mutation that caused this as opposed to an intentionally-bred trait. I had to buy it, but I put it in my sister's tank as she's obsessed with white clouds.

Has anyone ever seen one like this?

I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

I for one haven't - breed it! But you have to think up a name for the type. Gold Dust WCMM? Sparkly WCMM?

I don't spend much time looking at the White Clouds, but that's awesome, and definitely isn't the normal Golden White Cloud. I'd get up on breeding that sucker right away.

I bet she will.

She has other white clouds, and another tank filled of with young white clouds that she bred. We might take those to the store and clear it out for breeding the gold one.

mine are all like that during breeding time.

I have 6 WCMM's and i havnt seen that b4 and mine are in breeding

Woah, Gold Dojo. Pics. Now.

My WCMMs breed regularly and I've YET to see any of them show off such colors.

I bred them for a couple of years and never saw that color ... best to assume it's a lifetime color for this guy IMO, and spawn him!
