two animals Homozygous for a mutation together has the potential for problem, usually deformed babies. Albinos are known to have various eye problems for example.

It is always best to breed Het X Homozygous or Het X het. That is not to say you can't breed two homozygous together, a lot of people have done it with a variety of morphs and species without any problems.

A sunglow is also an albino, so it would fall in the same catagory of Albino X Albino.

If you want to expand and use your Albino females as breeders, I would get a new morph. Either to produce double hets, or maybe get a Motley het Albino or Jungle het Albino to still produce Albinos but other morphs as well.
