Albino Blue Diamond Throwbacks

Newest picture of the pair. They are my most prolific at laying eggs. Eggs still turn white. The good news is though that they don't seem to want to eat them...even after they turn white.

Sounds like both good and bad habit, good for them not being egg eaters, and bad for them for not being able to pick out the bad eggs. Nevertheless, that pair is really beautiful, really hope they breed for you, I wanna see some wrigglers

Thanks Kevin. They are still fairly young and new to this so I think they will get the hang of it soon. Really want to work with this pair, great shape and patterns to them IMO. If they keep eating tetra bits they'll turn an almost orange hue. Really nice.

Orange hue you say eh, sounds cool. I'll keep notice with this thread

My god, they laid eggs again as I type this. After a water change. If the male ever gets it right I could very well be overwhelemed with fry from this pair lol.

Matt, are they getting whiter as they age or is it your different lighting? They are super lovely looking. They have changed a lot over the past months. I like....

[Discus-n00b]

Thanks. Its just the lighting used. That last show was with a direct flash, they are actually more orange now then they were.

I have more of these in a grow out tank, and one is a major pig for Color Bits, so I wanted to post him here as well so you can see how orange they can get if they are on things like color bits. Its honestly more of a "Peach" color. The other white fish in the tank are more ABD throwbacks...but they don't eat as many colorbits.

Thanks. I'd recommend trying to feed them color bits before getting them to hooked on the freeze dried blackworms. The others don't take to the color bits as well as this one fish does, he goes crazy for them. The others will nibble them now and take a few, but really want the worms.

Really nice orange or peach color after feeding a food that enhances the red color. I'm sure something like shrimp would work as well.

did this color take 2 months to achieve by feeding TB. I see you have had them a couple months.

How does this pair look to you? This is my pair that keeps laying eggs, still working on the male getting things right. This picture was taken before I moved them to their new breeder tank. Notice the long trailer coming off the male's fin on the right. They are cleaning the cone again as I type this.

Nice pair Matt, and amazing photo!
