I have two zebra danio fry about 4 weeks old now and they are beginning to look like proper fish, if you get me.

While one of them has developed the characteristic blue stripes, the other has no colour or stripes and is completely see-through. Do i have an albino?

Edit: It's eyes are the normal blue however.
 
any other thoughts? I'm really interested to hear what people think.

Wasn't aware some fish just didn't develop colouring/markings, but aren't classed as albino. Having looked at albino zebra danios on google it definitely isn't one, since they're just white or colourless. Mine however is completely see-through, a bit like a glass catfish ie. you can see it's spine and intestines. Very cool, but wonder if it's as hardy as others.
 
My seven surviving Pearl Danio fry took a while to start colouring up, it started when they were something like 2cm long and ~3 months old, now at ~4.5 months they are now far off the shape and colour of their adults.
