Hi Silurus!

Thank you so much! I've heard this is a friendly and very helpful site and now I can say I've experienced it first hand!

Any plus or minus re the long finned version? Thanks again!

Amy

I don't think there's any particular difference between the long-finned and "normal" version of the two, other than the genetic "defect" of long fins in one of them. Lots of fish have a gene for long fins, so breeding sufficient combinations will bring it out eventually. Just like albino and other "defects" that people breed in some forms of aquarium fish.

I personally don't like albinos or long fins, I like the fish to look like it does in nature. But that is my personal opinion, and if you like long-finned albino, that's your choice, and there's nothing wrong in that. If everyone thought and felt the same thing about all matters, the world would be a rather boring place...

So, conclusion: You choose whichever you like, long or short fins, albino or coloured. They do the same job, and behave the same, regardless.
