Hey guys,

I got my hands on a group of diamond albino angels recently, however they seem to have a slight eyesight problem? Food will go near them and they won't notice it, but will chase down food that is far away... Has anyone else got these angels and experienced the same problem?

Also, how rare are these guys? I'd never seen them before in my life...

Haven't heard the name Diamond Albinos before, but it could be a new strain. Any chance of some pictures ?

Albino fish of any sort usually have poor eyesight. I'd day your guys are having trouble seeing things close up. Just so long as they manage to see well enough to get food, it's not really a big problem.

Just out of interest is that a genetic thing Merrilyn?

Merrilyn, these guys are hard to photograph... but I did my best to give you an idea of what they look like.

Yep, albino pearlscale angels.

Beautiful fish, but they do seem to have eyesight problems.

I bred mine with silver angels to improve the vigour.

Got a lot less albino fry in the spawn, but they were stronger.
