Albino poly with a few little black spots...?

[Raynebowfish]

Is it possible for an albino to have a couple random black specks on its head? I can't remember if they were there when I got it...But I have noticed it lately, and have tried to do research on it and can't find anything similar. I know about black spot disease and such, but all those spots were too big.

My senegals have lil' black specks, but I believe its just the normal coloration for them from what I have seen of numerous pictures. The spots literally are this size " . " like the tip of a pin and black...I thought I ask, I searched the old post for black spot disease, but couldn't find anything relevant to mine. Thanks in advance!

what kind of substrate do you have in the tank?

Are you sure these spots are pigment and not specks of anything else resting on the fishes slime coat?

I have small gravel in the tank, I am not 100% sure, but they sometimes look like they have changed places, so I think you may be right! The more I think about it, the more it makes sense, unless they are still there 3 months from now LOL Thanks!

my common colored sens is covered in little black spots like you described. It might be the gravel , I thought my bichir had ich but it turned out to be the sand

No problem hahah

I went through the same situation with keepign albinos in a tank with black sand. They always seemed to have freckles from one of the other fish kicking up sand in their direction
