I would assume marble, yeah.

 

[catxx]

definitely marble going on there!

I have 2 female, one red finned, one yellow finned, and they both have a "splodge" of this marking on their side.

Well I think it's cute, like a beauty mark for a girl. Is anyone here adopting her you think?

 

[BethK]

looks marble but it is a defect in their coloring (marble is a defect gene), not a bad thing but not something a breeder would want in a cambodian line.

pretty girl though!

marble is not a "defect". just another color variation. its only a defect if you are going for a pure color. to some, marble coloration is coveted.
that is an interesting fish
cheers

Yeah if I hadnt been full she I wanted to adopt her.
