Albino Molly Fry

[Hanna87]

Found more fry in my tank this morning. Had about 20 born a few weeks ago and found about 15 this morning. But what i found interesting is 3 out of 35 are what looks like albino. Their bodys are almost clear, thier insides are orange and their eyes are orange instead if the usual black. Im really not sure who they came from. I have multipul females pregnant. Most of the mollies are dolmation and marbles. And the only orange ones in there are swordtails but their both males. Can anyone tell me if albinoism is possible with mollies? I know with fry you really dont see any color till at least their a few weeks old, but the eyes just stump me. Thanks.

i have seen red eyed oranges and whites before, so not surprising you have some. but the see-throughish bodys are just because they are young

I have 14 clear molly fry, and Kiara1125 said that they might be platinum or gold when they grow up. Their father is a gold dust, so that answers the question for me!

Just an update. I've had more albino fry sence 3-13. Have between 50 and 60 todal fry, 15 are albino. Currently looking for a larger grow out tank, my 10 gallon just isnt cutting it anymore. Lol. (Fry are still in multipul breeder nets in 55 gallon.)

That's very cool!
Good call on getting a bigger grow out tank.
