My albino kribs let their first batch of hatchlings out of their cave today. I noticed that some are solid clear/white, some are normal krib color and some look to be in between the others in color, having a white body and light gray markings. I dont know wether they will come out albino or regular, but it will be interesting to watch. I've usually keep regular kribs and once had an albino male pair'd off with a standard female, this is my first pair in which both parents are albino.
On an interesting note the pair with the albino male and standard female once threw a fry that grew up to be half and half. I've never seen that in a fish before. The front half was white and the back half was standard with the split between being even right down the center. Wish I had a pic of that one, but its been over 8 years since then. He never spawned so I never got to see what would have happened if he had. Has anyone ever heard of such a thing happening before? I know similar things have appeared in crayfish.
