A. cacatuoides tr with white fries!!

[Boupette]

First time I see that although many years breeding Apitogrammas, my female cac had some white fries among normal fries. What's that? Could it be some throwbacks?

Excuse the glass full of algaes.

I would really like to have your opinion please.

Albino A. cacatuoides were know in the past. They tended to be almost blind and weaker than normal color fry from the same brood. It would be best to raise them separate from the normal colored fry. If they have red eyes, they are albino. If not, one of the parents might have some Gold Cacatuoides in it.

Thanks Mike. I cannot tell about their eyes colors yet. I'll do what you say or would it be better to stunt them?

 

[Mike Wise]

I would move the albinos to their own tank. Poor vision means that they will probably be out-competed for food and starve to death, not stunt.

Oh I'm not really worried bout it cos they see very well brine shrimps and micro and grindal worms. No they're almost bigger than the colored ones! Maybe they're gold. Only time will tell. I'll come back with it! Thanks a lot Mike again!
