Hey rigs some nice shots there. Albino convict. Shouldn't it have red eyes if albino ?

[Kleinz]

Nice. What's your flash setup?

That's what I thought too.... Could it be that it's just a white convict? Maybe someone with some albinos might be able to answer that.

Nice. What's your flash setup?

Hey Klienz

It's just the onboard flash on the Nikon as well as twin T8 unit, but I built a small reflector box to sit on top of the flash to diffuse and spread the light a little, I found that just the onboard flash is a little harsh

[fishking123]

i have some white ones and i was told they are albion but the loook like riggers

[Gareth]

Pretty sure Scotty hootons Albino aulonocara jacobfreibergi have blue eyes. Might be wrong but im pretty sure he was talking to me about it.

[Bowdy]

I was refuring to the pupil Gareth not the iris.

[Mattymak]

awesome bro!!

[Kleinz]

Nice diffuser then, Riggers. You inspire me to see if I can't rig something for the nifty.

Gareth these are Scotty's albino beasts.

Can't have blue eyes as that would be pigment, which means not albino, AFAIK.

maybe his are leucistic !!!

[scottyhooton]

nice one ,


btw my albinos have red eyes , the males have a blue sheen in the body


leucistic???

[Riggers]

Leucism = a variant in the species that produces no colouring in the skin, it happens in a lot of different species

After a bit of research it isn't an albino convict but a line bred variant often called the ivory, white, pink or gold convict, I'm guessing that the name 'albino' convict has just stuck with them but in actual fact there not albino at all

Does anyone have any true albino convicts we could compare with?

[choombies]

I dont think number 3 is a rostratus?!?

[Riggers]

It should be it came from you bro unless ya sold me a dodgy fish

[kylie85]

Awesome pics! I think I need to get my new camera ASAP!

[Cam85]

The Pink Convict Cichlid is a pseudo-albino of the Archocentrus nigrofasciatus Convict Cichlid
