Thanks everyone for their replies. These are excatly the questions I've been trying to answer. I tried breeding my male albino super jungle last year and didn't even observe courting. I figured he was just too small. I'm trying again this year, and I guess I'll just have to wait.

I can't imagine that they all would be genetically infertile. Even if they were severely inbred, albinos still produced offspring, just some had diformaties or were premature. I agree with the need to outcross as well. The two females I have waiting for him are both from different breeders and neither one of them are jungles. I was planning on buying a salmon jungle female though and now I'm thinking of holding off.

I know there are people that have already tried to breed super jungles and super motleys. I'd love to hear their input, whether they slugged out, premies, or just nothing took.

Thanks again.
