Yes ,after reading your post about the Florida scarlets with yellow bands I looked up other scarlets from other states and yes the Carolinas ESP further north have white bands.

I have found a few adults here in Florida all yellow bands .

After I got my fishing license as thats all you need here to collect a scarlet king. I had planned on keeping one. I caught one of them by glades outskirts but than felt it belonged wild not n a 10 gallon tank.
So let it go .

I was surprised no white bands now see non in Florida.

thanks
