🌈 Appearance

The Albino Eureka Red is a strikingly beautiful fish with a pale pinkish-white body due to its lack of pigmentation (albinism), complemented by bright red and orange highlights on its fins and body. Its eyes are red or pink, a common albino trait. Males tend to have more intense coloration, especially during breeding.
