Ava’s Personality
Ava is a lovely young adult with an especially bright appearance thanks to her high iridophore expression.
Her golden colouring and reflective shimmer make her stand out beautifully under aquarium lighting.
Behaviour may change as Ava settles into a new environment, but our observations help you get to know the individual animal you are choosing.
What Makes Ava Special?
Ava’s standout feature is her combination of Golden Albino colouring and high iridophore expression.
Iridophores are reflective pigment cells that create shimmering, metallic-looking highlights. In Ava, this gives her the sparkly appearance often referred to as Starburst.
She is listed as B Grade because she has a physical or cosmetic imperfection that places her outside our standard grading.
B Grade does not mean she is any less deserving of a great home. Ava is simply a gorgeous girl who isn't quite physically perfect.
As a confirmed female, you also have the reassurance of knowing her sex before bringing her home.
Colour and sparkle may vary slightly depending on lighting and screen settings.
