Talking

albinism is a recessive trait in which the whole person/animal lacks pigment.
The red 'eyes' every layman is talking about is the retina that lacks the black pigment in albinos which actually should be pinkish. this term red eyes should not be used. use rabbit eyes if you must because red eyes means the iris are red. so stop it! for your ref of what is what- http://www.nei.nih.gov/health/eyediagram/

my point is, when we using flash to take pictures, those people who look directly at camera has red 'eye' although they are not albinos.
the red you see is actually the retina which the colour of blood-red...

in fairer skin people this colour is lighter. in albinos even lighter.

so you must be wondering if albinos have no pigment how come the fish sold at lfs has colour...
well, in albino fish people can still colour feed the fish to stain it artificially...

however that said, a well known breeder in singapore, mr andrew soh has managed to breed albino swordtails with black and red pigment?!!!

so these half breeds still captivate brilliant people into rethinking the genetics of colouration...

hope this has cleared up some bs...

Aiyoo do you know how long is your guppy pregnant? Having a gravid spot doesn't mean it's ready to deliver!!! If you haven't been keeping track your guppies pregnancies and deliveries so it's hard to say. So is your female's belly soo BIG like it's about to burst? Normally when the belly looks squarish it's almost about to deliver. But if it's stressed it'll delay the process.......

it usually takes 21 days for the pregnant guppy to deliver.but more than that would be quite dangerous because the guppy is gonna give deliver dead guppies.regarding the delay of delivering would be quite obvious that it is shock and stress. This would be due to the sudden change in enviroment(change in temperature,lack of space,being disrupted).
