A LFS has a tank of agassizi labeled as gold, I didnt get any pictures unfortunately, I didnt have my camera and the shop is 40 minutes away. I am positive they are agassizi (same body shape, spearhead tail, and the black lateral line), but they had a a gold swath from their chin to pectoral fins and a light colored tail. Has anyone heard of this color morph or maybe help me verify.

Thanks

Here again is a commercial name that really is nothing but descriptive. It could be any agassizii form with some yellow on it. A. agassizii is a very polychromatic species. Without photos, I couldn't say what they are. Here is a species that I keep: http://www.mtfb.com/MTFBJuly2005/JULY2005pagesIMAGES/105wisearticle2.htm. It doesn't quite match your description, but the caudal does.
