So I was at Petsmart getting cat food, and I wandered by the fish. I was looking at the long-finned zebra danios since I was thinking about getting a few (especially since I've decided to nix the tetras) and I found this little guy:

I had to take him home, of course. The employee said they get them in very rarely. I got a regular long-fin zebra, too, I've decided I want every zebra fin and color combination (except giants). :D Is he cool or what?
 
Cool! I wish i had one but my tank is to its fullest

Looks leucistic to me. Nice pick up!

Ah, that makes sense, I wasn't sure albino was the right word. Thanks! It's interesting too, I can definitely see the yellow stripes more than on my others (also possible the others are female).
 
It looks like a Gold Longfin Zebra Danio. I had some of the shortfin variety of this, and they looked the same. You don't see the Gold Zebra Danios a lot. My LFS keeps them in stock all the time. They have a great look compared to the regular zebras.

I looked at some pictures, and it looks like he has less pigmentation than the pictures I'm seeing. But either way, he's purty. :)
 
He's just a long-finned gold zebra danio. My PetSmart always has a tank full of 'em.
 
Looks like a gold rather than an albino to me as well. Beautiful fish nevertheless.
