Yoz...

Just perhaps wan to pop the question if anyone has physically seen an albino RTC before? It is super rare at my side of the world and have seen some pics of it from Jap aquatic mags.

One thing to note that for albino RTCs..even though albino, they are still spotted with red color on their tails...at the rim of the tail.

hope to see a real adult specimen soon..someday...

:naughty:

most, if not all, of the pics u see on japanese mags are leucistic RTC's(black eyes instead of pink). I've never even seen a pic of an albino RTC, it is very very very rare !!

Of all god forsaken places I could've sworn they had one not for sale down here at one of the local shops.....May not have been a red though. Still looked nice....I've got a regular red tail channel though from my boss. He decided to get a waaaamburger and french cries and turn his only tank over to the friendly side, I also got a nice flowerhorn from him too :naughty:
