I was just curious... :unsure: this is my 2nd batch of electric yellows and one baby is kinda...colorless....can you have albino electric yellows?? None of the fish look sick and only one of like 12 is actually pale/colorless...

I'll put pictures or video link tomorrow so you guys can see difference!
 
Mbuna colours can change quite a bit based on their mood. Pale colouration is normally a sign of sub-dominance to more aggressive or larger fish.

It could also be a hybrid or a poor breeding strain as this is unfortunately fairly common now with yellow labs.
 
As long as there isn't some kind of disease that makes them pale discolored I'm happy! :D I don't think it has anything to do w/ dominance as they are all babies in the tank and none are bigger than an inch. Hopefully it just has to do w/ breeding or something to that extent. I shall name him/her Oddball! As he/she is the only pale baby I have :hyper:

I'd post pic but can't find cable for camera to comp :(
