Couple of weeks ago, we noticed that one of our female has a single-sided albinism. She has red-eye on her left side. Initially we thought that this wasn't something special, perhaps because she's a marble and we all know how marbles can work wonder on any colouration. The beauty of her is that she's behaving totally normal. She picked on others, grab foods as fast as others, etc. It turns out quite beautiful to see how one of her eye glow red with white dot in the middle while the other one is a perfect black colour.
Today when we go to check on her, sadly she's been lying on the floor, dried. She must have jumped out of her tank (a decent 4 inches height from water surface)....We put a piece of paper to close the container but had since found the paper lying on the floor too, perhaps she exercised rock climbing or one of those extreme sports :(
Anywho, we're wondering if the rest of the spawn (dalmatian marbles) carry this trait, or where it came from....Perhaps if we further cross them, they'll give further evidence of this albinism.
