Nice, good to see the albino again.
None of my BN's like me, always sod off as soon as they see me into there tunnels they created themselves in a large bit of wood.
Main tank, 270x60x70cm 950ltr flat back hex shape, Central America and neighbours theamed.
Second tank, is 1 side of a split 210ltr so 105ltr, peaceful community tank.

There are two adult albino males, the female is brown, as is the big grumpy one that's in with the guppies and pandas.
The fry from the albino male and brown female are about 50:50 between brown and albino......

Couple more, one of the male in with the gossei and emperors and two of "Grumpygraws" in the guppy/panda tank....
The one with the guppies is about 1.5" bigger than the albino. ;)

Grumpygraws is about 4.5", all the others are between 3"-3.5". The albino in the gossei tank is about 3", so there must have been a mix with "super reds" to get the smaller ones.
