I recently bought 3 Pearl White Zebras from Big Al's and I haven't been able to find a scientific name or any information about them anywhere. The Big Al's near me tends to sell lots of Painted & Hybrid fish and I'm hoping this is not what I bought (I no longer buy fish from this store.... they recently sold me a Blue Botia which has obviously been painted... I couldn't tell in the store lighting so I bought it). Does anyone know the scientific name for this fish (Pearl White Zebra) or have any other information about them?? I have them in a 60 with some other Africans and everything seems fine but I would like to know something about them (they're not in my books so I'm hoping they're not Hybrids of some sort)

I think it is just a color morph (from breeding) of Psuedotropheus zebra.....

They might just be a albino zebra or they could be a "snow white socolofi" http://www.cichlidlovers.com/p_snow_white.htm

But without a pic we can't tellyou for sure.
