Albino medaka care: UV protection, shaded areas, feeding visibility challenges, compatible tank mates, and breeding considerations.
Albino medaka lack melanin pigment, resulting in red eyes and translucent white bodies. This trait requires more delicate management than standard medaka.
Without melanin protection, albinos are vulnerable to UV damage. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight. Provide shading with screens and floating plants outdoors.
Albinos have weaker vision than normal medaka. They take longer to find food. Feed slowly in small amounts to ensure adequate intake.
White coloring is conspicuous to predators. Use nets and covers for bird protection outdoors. Provide ample hiding spots with plants.
Albino-only groups are ideal. Mixed with normal medaka, albinos lose food competition. If mixing, scatter food widely.
Albino x albino = 100% albino offspring. Albino x normal = all normal F1 (het albino). F1 x F1 = 25% albino in F2.
