Black paleatus fry?

[MissNoodle]

Ive had some more spawning in my cory groups...

My paleatus eggs i collected, I got some albino and the "normal" ones were black.
I'm referencing photos and the fry are much lighter in colour.

In the photo here there is 1 aeneus fry on the left, the middle ones are the paleatus, and top right is an albino paleatus fry.

Is the black colouration normal?

Interesting. I've noticed that even within a species, there can be notable darkness differences from fry to fry, but these fade with age. Here's a dark trilineatus fry I had:

I definitely wanna see how these guys develop then.
My trilineatus fry had some variations, but never this dark at this age lol so this will be neat
