    a person or animal having a congenital absence of pigment in the skin and hair (which are white) and the eyes (which are usually pink).

    Using a flashlight, shin the light directly at the iris if the colors are dark blue or dark purple then it is carrying some albino.

    AL, I read through that entire thread thank you. as per the pictures of your fry and albino fry, my fry look so much like yours only difference is mine have bright yellow hue and are not albino. and they also eat like starving piranha no matter how much I feed them its never enough for them.

    I feed this to all my fish, SERA growth food and sera staple food, bug bites (regular), I buy frozen beef heart (Regular) from Discus madness, raw garlic chopped fine, white fish fillet (chopped fine), boiled egg whites (once a week). I do my best not to feed no color enhancing foods to any of my discus.
