They're not quite albino. But somewhat in between? Like leuistic I mean. I even recall(it may have been reflection) seeing white eyes on one of the tadpoles----- not a 100% sure since they're in a breeder basket in the main tank and I don't wanna bother them anymore.
It is completely normal. A certain percentage will be lighter or darker than the the others and many tads will change back and forth. Leucism or albinism looks totally different. I just had a pair of F1 toads that are both het's for a form of leucism spawn for me last night. Roughly 25% of the tads from that pairing should be leucistic assuming it is a simple recessive gene. Assuming the eggs are fertile I should be able to post a picture illustrating the color difference between regular toad tads and those with a leucistic color mutation in a few weeks.
