Strain Characteristics
Near-full body silver/white pearl coverage. Minimal red or black markings.
Large kok like Kamfa. Often bred from Kamfa × platinum parrot hybrid lines.
Tank Conditions
Dark substrate enhances silver contrast. Dark backing improves visual drama.
Warm lighting (4000-5000K) shows silver best. Cool blue lights wash it out.
Diet for Silver Development
Spirulina-rich foods support silver/white intensity.
Avoid heavy color-enhancing foods (red-boosting astaxanthin) — they interfere with silver expression.
Water Quality
Pristine water keeps silver vibrant. Yellow tannins in tank water dull the silver.
Weekly 40% water changes. Use activated carbon to remove tannins.
