adamgatt Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Hi gang Has anyone seen an albino bristlenose before with black markings on it? I noticed one in my tank today with black on one of the fins and under belly. Interested to hear how this could happen genetically? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had some albinos with black marks on their fins, similar to what I see on the fin, years ago. I assumed they were bruising or injuries. I can't remember if the marks disapeared (healed?) or if I sold them with the marks. None of my current albinos have them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Link2Hell Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Adam they are just showing traits back to normal colour more than likely because in recent breeding line adults were normal over albino rather than one colour phase They used to be termed "sports" if memory serves me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamgatt Posted June 2, 2021 Author Share Posted June 2, 2021 Thanks all. I have seen a couple more in my tank with black marks on the body and fins too. I might try and put them aside and try to breed them amongst themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
