David R Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Are they actually albino, or just pink? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeblyn Posted July 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 The one that has turned the most orange is a female about 4-4.5cm They were only introduced to the other cichlids in the tank about 3-4weeks ago. The orange seems to have appeared almost over night, its espically coloured around its belly and fin. They were sold as Albinos but are pinks, the colouring around the top fin was most suprising as all the infomation we have so far found has only mentioned the bellies on females. We will get a pic up later today to show the colouring on the scales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
