True if all we needed to do is decide only between these two, capa vs fila.

But with fila variability that has been coming to light lately and also with Fugupuff making a mention of possible hybrids... leaves much room for uncertainty in my thinking. It may be just me though.

Winning bid goes 2 Jay!...nice work man... i searched non stop also trying 2 find a pic with no avail. Then we get an unexpected vid from a member. Looks like its even rarer than we/i initially expected. Vince, uve outdone urself again :) ... im not partial to hybrids or full bloods, i like em all... but i will say the u.s. is waaaaay behind on aquaculture. Pretty amazing whats being done in fish farming. I guess i can understand some people's takes on hybrids now. They may out number true w/c full bloods one day.

Are you sure this is a platinum?
Platinum fish..esp. the younger ones will not show full platinum coloration, the platinum gets more intense as they grow. At least that is what I know from my limited experience with platinum fish. I've posted a video of the same fish but with top view instead and I'm sure based on that video that this is a platinum cat.
