I have heard a variety of opinions on the matter an would like to get the forums experiences.

Well, I am looking into a nice cross for my little lady.

One of the things I have come up with is the pairing of recessive genes may cause issues due to the gene being "weak".

I was having conversations about crossing weak to weak. So, what's your opinion on if the parents are albino/albino, be it sunglow, motley, etc, what is your experience with running into problems such as slugs, eye probs, etc?

So, crossing an albino whose parents are both albinos to a sunglow would be problematic? Others have told me that albino to anything is going to be equaly questionable as the gene is just by design prone to issues.

So is it best to outcross to say as double het albino " fill in the blank here" to the albino to loosen the gene up and diversify it or does it make a significant difference in crossing an albino to an albino when they aren't directly related in father daughter or siblings together?

Thanks.
