I am wondering if anyone has information on the origin of the Albino RES in the trade. Wanting to know how long they have been available, who originally produced these, and if their are more than one genetic line available? Reason is my brother caught a wild baby albino RES. We know it is like a one in a million chance to find but not sure how many other wild caught specimins have been found and how many have been put into breeding programs. While you can buy a baby albino RES for $300-500 bucks, we know this one should be worth much more. Even though it is priceless to him as a find we are trying to put a value on this specimin as to what it would be worth to a breeder or collector as well as what it could be worth to us as a start to a new breeding program to produce a new genetic line in the market. Would appreciate anyones information and/or insight.
