Albino L333 in one of my spawns - with pics

[The Tech Den]

Today I thought I would empty a few fry out of caves and to my surprise I found about 5 Albino L333's.

Now I am a bit freaked out and want to make sure they live...

Pretty impressed - would like to say it was all me but obviously mother nature did all the work...

Can't see their eyes changing from red so would think they will remain Albino's

its been happening a bit lately.... couple other people experiencing the same thing!!!
theirs have stayed albino.... nice to have something different but wont be different for long... they breed true... and give more albinos....

100% true? That would be breeding brother and sister too, yes. Swapping might be a good idea.

How can they change their genetics over the time, what is born albino, remains albino... isn't it?

Did a check on them last night and have lost one so down to 4 now but the good news is that I have 4 L333 boys on eggs. Wonder if there will be any white ones in this batch?

Have never heard of an Albino changing so think it will stay the way it is but you never know with nature.

GOOD JOB!

Thanks for sharing! after few years we can see some fry for sell!

 

[The Tech Den]

Hopefully if all goes well. Have to grow them out and breed them and make sure that they will breed true so when you get them and breed from them you get what the adults look like not a mix of Albino and normal L333

 

[ccole]

They truly are amazing.nature is an amazing thing also- as I understand it albino born agree due to two patents who both have a latent Gene the same as when a albino human is born?

Keep usup to date andhope that you don't lose anymore
