Why doesn't my albino senegal grow?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
same here. got my albino at about 4-5" and my regular sen at under 2". Same diet and WC routine, but now the abino is maybe .5-1" bigger than when I got him and my regular sen is about 6"

like beblondie said, genetics is the key. Albinos also tend to stay smaller and die earlier :(
 
I thought I was doing something wrong! This thread just made me feel a whole lot better!:) I've had my albino for about a year, and it's only grow about an inch. I feed the heck out of him, live food, dead food, pellets, etc. Everything else I get grows like a weed and I can't get this thing to grow for the life of me!:nilly:
 
there smaller thats why they might be called short bodies.
