Well, i got my first corn a couple days ago and would like to know what she is. i got her at the LPS store. they had a few but all were marked local bred corns and thats all the staff new about them. so i picked out the best one i could find. shes eating f/t pinks with no problem. shes in a 5gal rubbermaid while im getting her 20 gal aquarium together. thanks

She's an amel. I think you could even call her a reverse Okeetee, which just means she has wider-than-normal white borders around her saddles. Very pretty!!

Nanci we finally agree! Yes! lol

Keep in mind that she may outgrow those borders. I once had an Amel that looked similarly who I thought for sure would be an RO, but by the time she was a yearling her borders had filled in and it was clear she was just an Amel.
She's a gorgeous Amel! Hopefully she keeps the borders for you.

I was thinking the same thing, b/c I've seen that happen plenty of times before with the same colors as this one. She's a cutie though!
