Any TRUE albino Cichlids, other than Oscars, etc ?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Severums are not albino - they are Xanthic - never saw an albino Ram - that's awesome.

The "albino" amph. is awesome, but has black eyes - so he is leucistic as well. Unless if it just looks black in the photo? His skin coloration does suggest an albino.

Keep them coming - the Albino Ram was a real find!

Not my fish and I agree the area around the eye could make it leucistic not 100% sure but a cool lookinf fish none the less.
 
Is it really an albino ram or is it just a washed-out gold? The picture is kind of small so it's hard to tell.
 
Many africans have albino versions of themselves.

The vast majority of albino African cichlids, are hybrids, at least those that are related to cichlids found in the Rift Lakes.
