albinos?

[malt_geckos]

I really like albino discus. I know they're light sensitive and I will be planting my tank and my lighting is compact flourescent. Will this be a bad situation for them?

My albinos are no more light sensitive than any of my others. The new fry may well be.

interesting! That's cool. With our albino leopard geckos that we breed, they ar super light sensitive. And I never had albino angels but I think they were more light sensitive than a non-albino.

I have three albinos and very bright lighting and have no problems at all, now when I get any new arrivals I alway just use the room light and then after a couple of days turn the tank lights on for short times and slowly get them up to having the light on all day. Larry
