Albinism is a genetic disorder. It is mostly seen in fish that are easily captive bred. Albino creatures never last long in the wild. Their characteristics of white flesh and red eyes is caused by a genetic defect which prevents the body from producing melanin. The most well known albino fish on the market include Corydoras aeneus, Bristlenose Catfish and Angelfish.
