The entire body and eyes of the specimen were normally pigmented, while each fin (except adipose fin) was partial albino with a irregular white margin. This kind of malpigmentation has not been observed in any catfish up to now. Additional study is necessary to evaluate the causes and inheritance of the special albinism.
