Is this a Wyoming White or a Platinum Percula

[schabiazabi]

Hi,

I need to find out what kind of fish I have. Some say it's a Platinum and some say it's a WW. I counted the dorsal spines, but I'm not sure if the count is correct.

Attached is the picture. Please help.

Edit: not so sure now either

It looks like a ww to me

i'm leaning toward a ww but i'm not 100% on it, beautiful fish none the less!!

Please comment why you guys think it could not be a WW?

 

[8220]

I think it is a ww. It looks to have a black iris and the markings also indicate it plus the dorsal spikes I count 11 like you percs are only 10

That is a percula. they eyes give it away. The black iris and the orange around it.

It isn't a Wyoming White which are Oc. The anterior dorsal is shorter than than the posterior giving it away as an percula for sure.

 

[fingerwrinkles]

+1 on the percula lineage based on the eyes.

These are WW and I believe yours is too. Also it appears to be "his" male.

Platinum below

that is a WW. WW have orange fins and plats usually have black fins especially as adults. flameangel9 has a beautiful pair to compare your to.

but how many websites are you gonna post this all over? you have "His" male your pic looks exactly like the video so your theory about a plat switcheroo is incorrect.

As you can see some say it's a WW and some it's a Plat. I just want to be sure as I do not trust the source. I do not have a theory, and my goal is not to make any false accusations, so I'm checking. Please note I did not mention anything on ReefCentral except for the fish.

As of now about 80% of those (including breeders) I asked told me it is a Platinum Percula, so obviously it's not that easy to distinguish them.

Having said that I do believe flameangel9 knows what he is saying as he has them.
Thank you.
