#361465 Do Blondes Really Have More Fun?

Posted by hollis on 01 May 2017 - 03:32 PM

i have an albino discus that has been in the same tank whith other varients for over 12 months . the other fish have grown out nicely with great size , weight and shape , the albino however although very healthy and a great looking fish is somewhat smaller , and when i whatch them eat it is obvious the albino struggles to see the food and only will try to eat from the water column ,

the others eating the settled food are obviously getting a lot more nutrients .
