Subject: [GSAS-Member] One of our Albino Discus "RARE"

This is one of our "Albino Spotted Eruption "  discus..  There are 4 total.
A known breeder here locally is rearing all 4 since it is better to keep
them in a group and we obtained them around 5 months back approx.  They
around around 7-8 months old now.    Albinos are  generally more touchier to
raise and must have optimum water quality and feedings.   ( over 100% water
changes per day and 5 feedings min. )
These are "RARE"  especially with this kind of a "Complete Pattern"..   We
are hoping that we will get at least  1 pair out of them and they will
produce "Wigglers"  !!!
These are not Local fish by anymeans.  No one around here has them for
sure..
They will carry 100 %  of the Albino gene.     If you were to breed one of
these with a normal  Leopard  your  F1s  would be considered "Intermediates"
meaning they would not look at all like albinos but would carry the Albino
gene.   Now 2nd generation  ( F2's)
you would see a mix of the two visually.  ( some albino, some  reg.
Eruptions )
 Just thought I would share...
