Default Albino Pacu

Finally got my hands on this beautiful form of pacu.

My target is to pump it to 8" in one month... let's try... feeding every hour with a couple of hikari wheat germ sinking pellets

Dont be too hurry to pump it up as I realised that it is not as hardy as the normal pacu family.Mine pump up from 20cent size to palm size in 1 mth as it keep picking up excessively food from the comm tank and now kana swimbladder disorder.
Never see this happen to the other type of the pacu species that I have even when it eat too much but the albino type seems to be less resilent.
