Cory Id and info needed

Post by zebraplec »

I have just come home with three corys labeled Albino Metae but try as I may I can't find any info..so the label may be wrong :?

They has the same shape as a Metae would have but the color of its body is the same as the normal albino aeneus but ..the pelvic fin has a gold edge...sorry no pics. Can anyone give me a positive Id and any info?

I would love to see a photo of the fish. If it looks just like a metae it probably is. I have not seen an albino metae.
