but mostly are just colour variations right... still the same species?

still very curious to know if there is any Abino strain of Apistogramma cacatuoides in history?

Yup! That's what I want to know too

Anyone has pictures or websites to show the different variants?

**Fei Miao** · 14th Mar 2006, 23:58

Yes, different colour variants but same species.

**wadzzup** · 15th Mar 2006, 11:03

what will the outcome be like if u cross different variants?

**Cacatuoides** · 15th Mar 2006, 12:33

thats something to discuss about in the thread regarding cross-breeding...and its not advised to...

i guess there's a gold or albino variant of cacas....i think its been posted somewhere in this forum....

i recall a picture of an "albino" caca.
but the resident mad biologist stated that it still has melanine (spelling ok?) black pigments.
so it isn't a true albino.
it just has a beautifully "white" body.
