The difference is that they do have eye pigmentation, they just lack pigmentation in the rest of their body. Of course, I suppose BeastKeeper could care less. :%) Did anyone mention Albino Cories?

A close-to-white angel (I did see a snowy white angel once )? If you're flexible about the red, bloodfin tetras? Albino tiger barbs (just watch out cuz they nip)?

girlunderrainbow Big Fish Posts: 323 Kudos: 230 Votes: 0 Registered: 22-Aug-2003	I wouldn't put paradise fish with anything that small. They are known to suck the eyes out of things..like Cories/Tetras..etc. I've had it happen, and seen it happen..many times.

Klee Banned Posts: 420 Kudos: 307 Votes: 0 Registered: 25-May-2004	I dunno, with the albino kribs + cory, you're leaving a lot to be desired for the upper strata. I'd suggest you drop the kribs and go with albino tiger barbs and cories, and a BN or two. Also, albino angels are gonna be rather hard to obtain, as most albino angel strains go blind by maturity, so healthy individuals are somewhat rare (you could try aquabid). But in a 20 gallon, you should stick to smaller fish.

BeastKeeper Big Fish Posts: 444 Kudos: 389 Votes: 47 Registered: 27-Apr-2004	how big do the schools of corys and terta have to be? since the kissing gourami will get too big. what is another center peice fish i could use? maybe a albino rainbow shark?

Janna Mega Fish Posts: 1386 Registered: 24-Aug-2003	Schools of cories and tetras ahould have at least 6 in each. Angels, kissing gouramis, and albino rainbow sharks get too big for a 20 gallon. Having a tank that small really limits you. You could get a white female betta. An albino paradise fish seems the best option for a centerpiece. They shade the glow of it with their mossy-misty costumes, They wear masks of silk, porcelain, brass, and silver, So as not to mislead with their own, ordinary faces.

girlunderrainbow Big Fish Posts: 323 Kudos: 230 Votes: 0 Registered: 22-Aug-2003	A small school of albino cories could end up being the centerpiece really..along with the tetras.. the Cories can get close to 3". I'd really not put a Paradise fish with cories or tetras unless you want blind albinos..

sham Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3369 Kudos: 2782 Votes: 98 Registered: 21-Apr-2004	Albino morph of the paradise is a bit less agressive... but I'd try for a female and there is a risk. They do have a habit of removing the eyes on cory although I've never had it happen on tetra. They basically ignore those unless you overstock too much. In my 55 I have no trouble but in a 20 or less you may. Is there an albino aside from Macropodus opercularis. That's the most common and most agressive of the paradise fish.
