Jexnell , at what size would you figure that you knew Casper was pretty much going to be white?

My three growouts are all mostly white toned in general but I see the possibility of orange in all of them... Not that it would look bad but hoping to break up the giant patch of orange going on in the 300. lol

Not really a size thing. It's a have they peeled or not.
But if you are seeing colors(orange and white) then they have peeled. Pre peeling they are silver and black "hide me I'm a baby colors".

See in this photo, the non peeled ones are silver/black. Some are peeling and Casper has peeled.

I feel that the Sagittae are peeled and showing the colors they will show. Feeling like I wont get a super white one like yours but close. I still have midas peeling and they are all over the board with color so I know they can change.

Here is a pic of his fry


See how mist of them are still the silver/black hide me colors. There are a couple starting to peel, I circled one

This one is the 'whitest'... but in the light a little orange in the fins. I see more orange in the fins of the other two. This one is the largest of the three.

Looks like dad when he was young

Pretty close... mine has a little orange in the eyes and fins but the overall look is close. Could be the future Casper stunt double fish, at quick glance you think its Casper, lol
