Mine is still a juvi at maybe an inch or so & has no center stripe or a hint of one at all. There's a pic in my gallery if you want to compare.

Isn´t your fish a leuko?

Not according to a few experts on this site. If you look at Burgess Atlas the pic of the thiellei in it is a clone of mine.

You posted the pics in the forum?could you link?
Both "spp" are probably hybrids of a skunk.Leuko has the tall body of chrysogaster,while thiellei keep the typical torpedo shape of skunks.Ocellaris could be the other component.
Would like to see what forum experts had to say

Did you mean chrysopterus instead of chrysogaster?

Sure,sorry.

I went and took a close look at my leuko female and I definitely see more of a chrysopterus in her than a skunk.

Here is a wild thought - what if the female of the original pair (chrysXsandy) determines whether the offsprings will turn out to be leukies or thiellei? For example, if the female is a chrys we will get leukies, and if the female is a sandy we will get thiellei?

Sounds crazy, I know
