Eureka red fry

Noticed an albino fish I thought was fish food when it got "lost" a couple days ago.. While feeding and doing some rearranging in the tank today, I found it..apparently it was a female..and she was holding! Her mouth seemed so full so I decided to check and look what I found! 11 babies.. Hope I can get them to survive.. Mom is chilling in the opposite tank..

thanks guys! quick question.. if the mom and dad are both albino eureka red, what will the fry be? are they likely to carry albino genes and be normal eureka reds? or are some of them going to be normal and some albino?

They are a true breeding strain unless there was a non albino in the recent past.
I have had a group of them for 10 years and every fry was albino.

Love this fish but almost all of mine are gone.
Even bought a bunch of new blood / females from 2 different breeders a couple months ago and have lost all of them. Even my best male.
time to move on I guess. LOL
