Great looking fish. Are you trying to pair it up for spawning?

 

[Jason82]

Hi Josh,
Yes I'm going to try and get him to pair up and spawn.
Cross with non-albino and see what mix of albino I get.
I have some pretty female kribs in that tank, so will observe if any want the albino for some loving

Bear in mind that P. pulcher is the only known species where Albino is a dominant gene. You will get at least 50% Albino fry for certain. If he is homozygous you will get 100% albino fry, but they will be heterozygous for Albino.

Ok thanks for that. I had to google the difference between homozygous and heterozygous, and found this:

Back when I was spawning albino pulcher, the hetero & homozygous fish were easy to differentiate visually. The heteros were more colorful showing more gold & red coloration as per the female in your avatar.. Homozygous were more white overall looking more like the male in your pics.

Success
I have fry in the community tank:

I have a two foot planted tank cycled and ready for the pair. Will need to organise a grow out tank for potential fry
