Well, as I said on another thread, I was buying some cardinals today, and I also saw these "gold" cardinals, and they were just too tempting, as I've never seen any before. This is my first go at taking fish pictures and they're really not very good!! - but here they are anyway. This first one shows one normal and one gold cardinal:

And here's a small shoal where you can see two gold ones, though one of them is side on. Told you I couldn't take fish pictures! I'll have to look through the camera manaul!

Very cool! I've never seen fish like them before. Perhaps they are crosses?

Cool, I'm Glad you got them .
Cheese Specialist, they are actually selectively bred from light colored cardinals, until the offspring develop a yellow tinge, and faded stripes. They are not crossed with any other fish.
