hi guys i have some tatia intermedia fry which are just over a week old, all the fry look black apart from 1 which looks almost transparent, it is growing at the same rate as the others but just lacks any colour, could it be an albino? is this a common occurance?
thanks for any replies

Could well be. Let's wait and see whether the pigmentation is just slow or if it indeed becomes an albino (red eyes) or a xanthist (black eyes).
Good spot btw. Any chance of a picture?

i will try to get a picture but the fry are so tiny and my camera is not the best so wont make any promises, i will definately get a picture as it grows though

And if they are anything like Centromochlus romani, they will be whizzing around at the top of the tank at any time you see them.

just got a couple of pics which turned out ok but it looks like it has a mottled colour when i zoom in. i will upload the pics soon but i dont think it is albino which is a shame but it is definately a different colour to the rest, i will get pics as it grows to see if it darkens to the same as the rest
