Not all cases of albinism are the same.

I know, that's why i entered some of those words myself. However, if you don't have any iris colour, it's more than likely going to make it hard to see especially with big bright fluro lights above you. I just don't think it's a good idea to reproduce something that is prone to defects.

hi Jude,

yeah the golden zebras I have seen have been like that! saw some trying to eat a huge golden apple snail. Have also seen them gang together and take down a neon! poor neon, felt for it, they then proceded to eat it! not the nices really.

They look really nice but i wouldnt get one, let alone the school they like to be in! too nasty.

p.s. get my golden bristlenoses today! YAY! hope i like them!

If it is a golden zebra its really peaceful. Its the yoyo who is getting nasty. I took some photos of them today, if they come out ok I will post them

Cheers

Here's the photos. I'd be interested to know if others agree with my id of them

yoyo loach?

golden zebra?

hi Jude

the yoyo loach looks just like the zebra loachs i have seen do! will have to have a better look at them. But they do look the same so that would explain the nastyness of them both. wonder whether the ones i saw were incorrectly named.

interesting! see what others think

hi Jude

the yoyo looks like a yoyo to me

the golden zebra doesn't look like a zebra (striata) .......not sure what that one is, will have a hunt round see if I can find any info.

Thanks Faye, I'd appreciate it

Hi Jude.

Got Graeme (aka Lord Loach) to have a look at your photos. He says that the 2nd pic is a Botia Dario Queen Loach.
