I have two albino angel fish. Recently I have seen that the bigger one has a
black ray in his upper fin.
I have had them since they were dime size. Anything to worry about?

Probably not. Black would be a little surprising in a true red-eyed
albino, but if you have a light colored fish with dark eyes it could
develop a dark fin ray or scale here and there.

It is an albino angel fish. Eyes are red. This is what seems strange.

See my post on the other newsgroup,, Firstly Any albino, is colourless,
there is zero pigmentation, the eye's are PINK, not red. All Albino's are
poor sighted, and normally infertile
Real Albino's are also extremely rare, and don't let people tell you ,
they can breed Albino, that's total crap. The Albino genie is recessive.

wouldn't that mean if you bred two (abnormally fertile), albinos that their
offspring would be albino, since both parents carry the recessive gene only
the recessive gene would be passed on.
