Re: Albinos
If the albino gene is closely tied to another bad trait (aka blindness) then
that gene carrying fish might never reach adulthood. Thus further increases
the odds against a successfull albino. Also, if albinism is related to the
sex gene, then you would really have a problem. If only males could
successfully carry the gene, then albinism would be impossible. I am hoping
to do some research on some of this at some point in my future.
