An "albino Salmon" is also called a Sunglow. If her parents were represented correctly, than she is a salmon 100% het for albino, or Double-het Sunglow and should produce albinos or sunglows if bred to any male carrying the albino gene (keep in mind there are two strains of albino, and they are thus far not compatible). It is possible for two 100% hets to breed and not produce any albinos, but unlikely. That would depend on the size of the litter. If she produced 10 babies, for example, than she may or may not be carrying the gene. However, if she produces 30 and there are no albinos, than she is NOT a het albino. The odds would be astronomical. If you are not certain, the best test to to breed her to an albino male.

>>I was told her parents were an albino salmon to a high pink normal. Now would i have to breed her to an albino to find out or could i breed her to a 100% het albino and get the same results? thanks for your help i am still trying to grasp the genetics portion of breeding.

>>1.1 Columbian common boas (Zeus, Athena)
>>1.0 BCC 50% het albino salmon (Aprodite)
>>1.1 Corn snakes (Appolo, Boreas)
>>0.1 King snake tri striped cal morph (Helios)
