Could it be?

I came home from work to day to find all these little wigglers on the bottom of the tank and on the lip of the cone and they're WHITE!  There are lots more on the cone but I don't expect free swimming until tomorrow.

Could it be that my HB's have been carrying around this albino gene for all these generations and I never noticed it?  Good Lord, this is not what I expected!  Albino HB's don't ring my bell, and some of these should be ps, as well.  The parents are both veils so I will get super veils.  I don't care much for super veils either unless they're fins are very very strong.

I have this pair listed on Aquabid but nobody has bought them.  I may take the auction down because this is so unexpected and I want to see what I get.  Imagine HB albino pearl scales :o  I've turned off the light above the tank so as not to hurt their poor weak eyes.

This is just too weird.

Too Many Fish. Not Enough Tanks.

I'm not sure about them yet.   After I turned the tank light off, the parents blew them back on the cone where they don't look white.  I expect that I made a mistake.  It would be so terribly unlikely to be the case after all my generations.  But they sure did look white when they were on the lip of the cone and on the tank floor, and it sure would be cool.
