Default True albino silver aro

Had a family gathering today and my relative showed me his recent catch... True albino silver aros with red eyes! Was glad to know that he got the real McCoy and not the ones that are flooding the market. Although the lights are pink lights, I witnessed for myself the red eyes. Too bad the semi short piece has rather bad PLJ. Nonetheless, enjoy!

Where your relative got this true albino silver? I never believe those flooding in the market are albino silver as I do saw before albino silver with ruby eyes even at juv size. No such thing as grow big then can see ruby eyes...

what is a true albino? eyes red, so its albino? what else we look at?

what is a fake albino? how come its fake? how u see those LFS selling fake?

share lehz. i am a noob about albino. personal, i am not a fan of albino fish, and i notice alot of fishes are albino nowadays.

I only like snow white aro. can never forget the snow white i saw at Aro Dynasty 10 years ago at Potong Pasir there and the snow white at OTF. its so classic, like one in a million.

No, cause the eyes are not even red to begin with. About turning colours, I really don't think it's possible.

Mentioned already. Most of those in the market are with yellowish body but brown to black eyes. At least this is what I have observed.

I won't call it fake lah. At the end of the day, people must know what they are buying. Price is slashed by the folds now as high supply low demand. Foresee this happening when it first entered the market. If you search on Youtube you can see almost all SEA countries having them in the farms

SEA is flooded with many kinda of weird cross breeding, weird grooming, etc. Its so hard to find a classic aro nowadays. Aro is just like luohan at times. simplicity is gone.....

i would prefer a simple silver aro. my $12 silver aro is now 2 ft long....
