Black Sterbai Fry ??

I have a sterbai species tank and in the last spawn this black fry was produced. You can see it's growth is much slower than it's siblings. The camera flash creates a mottled look to the body but looks quite black with the naked eye. Just wondering if any one has seen this happen before ?
Thanks, Bill

I have a Brochis splendens black fry. He is well grown as much as others. There is one problem and it is only that he is black. :)

There are always small and big ones. It isnt related with that fry is black.

I've had fry like this from sterbai, panda and duplicareus. It happens sometimes. In sterbai I also found them to be quite weak, but panda and duplicareus was growing just as well as normal fry.

Thank you for the replies. Then I will put him in an oddball tank so he cannot breed back.
