No its not mine.a few years ago a guy from Liverpool was breeding themb but never kept any youngsters back to perpetuate the strain.

I never got the chance to get hold of any. I am sure there must be some about somewhere in the UK and if anyone out there know of any please get in touch.

If there were any number of fry produced from this fish, then there has to be carriers out there somewhere. Any one who got normal looking offspring from this fish ( provided they are siblings) can expext 25% of the fry to be albino, 50% to be normal coloured, but carry the albino gene!

Oh gosh, If he was mated to a normal coloured fish carrying the albio gene ? yeah you got it, 50% albino offspring.

A missed opportunity there
