The body is silver-white (as in the bottom picture; there is a colour cast in the other photographs). Any red on the body or the fins is a fault, although occasional specimens with red lips are reminiscent of circus clowns.</p> <p>Note the typical Far Eastern finnage.</p> <p align="center">[<a href="oranda.htm" target="_top">Back</a>]    [<a href="#top">Top</a>]<br> © Bristol Aquarists' Society<br>  </p> </body>
