Don't know but would expect someone would be working on this combo by now. For some reason these things are often kept secret (anyone could think of the idea of making this cross - don't see how a breeder advertising that they are working on it would increase competition).

If clown and albino weren’t alleles (different mutations of the same gene - and I think it's very likely they are not) then albino X clown would produce normal looking double hets. If the genes weren’t linked by being on the same chromosome then breeding the double hets together would produce eggs each with a 1:16 chance of being an albino clown. If they do just happen to be on the same chromosome it would be much more difficult to combine them than 1:16 but how much more difficult would depend on how close the two mutations where together.
