albino cory panda?

Post by minmin »

hi folks;
i came across mention of albino corydorus pandas being bred now.
is there anyone here who owns them yet?

i'm just curious to know if the albinism is similar to cory. sterbai; you know how the lil pectorals still remain orange while the rest of the fish is albino.
does the panda have pink/orange markings on a pale background?

There is a white form with black eyes being bred in Germany, ay first glance it looks like an albino but it is not. From information I have been given they have been selectively bred from a few that appeared in normal broods.

As far as I know they have not yet made it to the UK.
