Gold / Albino

A variant of Freshwater angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare)

Gold / Albino

Representative Freshwater angelfishphoto — a dedicated image of this exact morph isn't available yet.

Gold is a recessive line yielding a soft yellow-gold body lacking bars; true Albino is a separate recessive removing all black pigment, giving pink-eyed pale-gold fish. Both prize a clean, warm color.

Keeper tips for this variant

Albinos are light-shy and can be slower feeders — dim the tank or use floating plants and target-feed to ensure they aren't outcompeted by pigmented tankmates.
