I decided they must just be regular albinos, their eyes looked dark at first glance, but if you looked hard enough there was a slight reddish hue.
    Their eyes may turn more red in the next few weeks, especially if dad is a regular albino.
    I have a strange albino that has red eyes, but some darker pigment on his back. I'm still not sure if he's reticulated or not. I thought that reticulateds had dark eyes.
    That's him on the left.

    Reticulated only refers to an albino animal having a pattern. Yours is a reticulated albino(and quite handsome too). Black eyes would be a whole new thing.

    Sander your guys are look damn good. I knew the algae type diet would be stellar. That's all they would get as a filter feeder in the wild anyway. Algae is packed with protein.
