Keep one male with three or more females in 55 gallons or more, with open sand for sifting and rockwork to break sight lines. Albinos see poorly, so they can be slow to find food; feed sinking pellets and keep them with other peacocks and haps rather than fast, aggressive mbuna. Most albino lines are hybrids, so don't breed them with pure species.
