Aquaman2567 Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Hello, I've grown out some lwanda peacocks and have 1 male and 6 females. The first lot of fry I've got have been to 50 50 mix and white albino looking fry and normal looking peacock fry.. any ideas why? The male looks perfect and they all come from the same store... inbread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Link2Hell Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 @Aquaman2567 my guess is one of 2 things has happened 1). if the male is true to type then one of the females may not be you may need to single out the female that has produced the albino fry, she could have mixed genetics 2). They may have developed an albino chromosome and you have managed to produce albino Llawanda you could ask the LFS if they all came from the same breeder or if they came from a wholesaler only time can answer the questions by growing them out to confirm and then breed the albino back to one of it's siblings to strengthen the albino genes do you have pics of the breeders and the fry ?

Aquaman2567 Posted March 16, 2023 Author Share Posted March 16, 2023 They came aquarium central. The male looks very nice with nice reflective blues and yellow. It's hard to coment of the females. They just look like typical peacock females. They came in the same shipment. So I'm guessing it was the same batch.. what you think of the photos?

Aquaman2567 Posted March 16, 2023 Author Share Posted March 16, 2023 My wife thinks the white ones have red eyes. I can't see properly lol. I will grow them out. I was just surprised to get 2 different colours. It's the first time they have bread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
