    First introduced to the hobby from this fishroom around 2005, this new Albino
    alvarezi is much richer in color, prolific and hardier than the original line.
    Emphasizing the brightest reds, yellows and blues of the original wild fish,
    a tank of these is a stunning sight. These have also proven to breed consistently,
    without the problems associated with many mutation lines- such as fish that
    get large but do not reproduce.

    Cared for just as the regular Xiphophorus alvarezi, they will do best with extra
    care to ensure adequate filtration, aeration and water changes. Small fry grow
    quickly with baby brine shrimp, and adults do best with occasional live food to
    reach their maximum size. Females drop 10-20 fry after an approximate 30 day
    gestation, and may eat their young. For more care information, click here.

Why Should I Keep Rare Fish?

   The blue sheen from the original
   fish can be seen in these photos
   from an earlier generation.
   By using a pen flashlight the bright
   blue reflection can also be seen
   easily on today's fish.
