Hello,

I have experienced a really interesting event two years ago. One of my female Bemba's Baby was borned in white. Not all babies, one of the four or five babies was borned like that. The other ones were normal bemba. The white ones turned from white to yellow after a few months. And the situation has become even more interesting. Now, they grew up, some of them are two years old. And they are completely yellow. But i cant figure out how did it happen. Can anyone explain this situation? Or did you see anything like this? In the meantime, I suspect the fact that male fish is bulu point.(I bought it as bemba when he was 3cm.) Now I'm adding photos and videos. Waiting for comments, thanks.

I really dying to see the comments about my fish. Because i dont know their kind and i'd to learn about it. I think this is a interesting mutation. If i am not wrong, a mutation like this is happening on sp.black caramba as caramba red bishop. Maybe it is a new kind of tropheus which has not seen before. Could this mutation happen on bemba too like caramba?

Do you think the male is a bulu point because of the 2 patches? could it not be a split band?.
 
Regarding the outcome, the gold fish have been seen before. I read something recently on it from america i think. Ill try and find it if i can remember where i saw it. cheers
 
You can be right about a split band but i have reasons for being bulu point: When i bought them from petshop there was bemba and bulu point babies in same tank. So the fish could be mixed. If the male one is a bulu point hybridization could happen. And according to my research often times when fish crossbreed genetic mutations will occur. Can this explain the situation in the yellows? 
 
You could be right about that gold fish have been seen before. But the thing which is i want to understand is did it happen with bemba? I know it happens with black caramba. Thanks for help! cheers
