It bothers me....
I dont know about anyone else but when i go to stores and they have fish (along with other things) listed as "albino..." that clearly have some color (they may have a lot of white but also have color) and normal colored eyes it bothers me.
Does it bother anyone else?
i guess i might just need to take a :chillpill: pill but it just gets to me.

P.S. is this the appropriate forum? lol
 
I think you posted in the right place.:) You just cannot expect your stores to be on the same level as the responsible hobbyists. A lot of stores exist for profit, not for knowledge.
 
most average Jos going to the pet store looking for some pretty fish to put in their 10 gallon wouldnt have a clue what that meant.
lol
 
Couldn't care less, mainly because either is terribly ugly, regardless of the fish.
