...the first one lost it's yellow..the second one lost it's dark brown pigment ,,overwash

the loss of over wased browns happens to alot of balls every year as they go through ovulations or breeding cycles.they usually turn darker again later...

I have had one lose it's dark color on the rear half of her body ....her back end was yellow......her kids did it too...she is now normal colored again......even darker.....(she laid)

.......the first is sometimes being listed as IMG ball....which is wrong..it didn't increase melanin it lost yellow (xanthine).......

it is cool.......keep it...or send it to Columbia ,Pa.....

as for breeding with albino.......the theory would be it would remove yellow from the albino colors...peobably just the over washed yellow parts ..thus leaving a clean yellow and white (high contrast) albino.maybe a really really nice high contrast..

go for it.......
