I'm about to purchase a female Albino Ball. Could it be bred to a male Genetic Stripe in hopes of producing an Albino Genetic Stripe? Just dreaming...TIA!

You'll get double het for albino and genetic stripe offspring from that breeding. Take the doulble hets for albino and stripe offspring and breed them together and you'll have a 1/16 chance of producing an albino genetic stripe.

It will take some time and luck hitting the odds, but it eventually can be done with what you have.

Good luck,
Tom

Short answer:
Yes, you could *eventually* get an Albino Genetic Stripe, but not directly from the pairing you mentioned.

Long answer:
When you breed, all the eggs would produce normal looking babies that are 100% Het for Albino and 100% Het for Genetic stripe. You would need to breed the siblings together (or outbreed them to other 100% double hets) to get an Albino Genetic Stripe.

Breeding the siblings together, you would get (Visible morphs are in parentheses)

Parents:
Het. Albino, Het. Genetic Stripe x Het. Albino, Het. Genetic Stripe,

6.25% Wild Type (Normal)
12.5% Het. Genetic Stripe, (Normal)
6.25% Homozygous Genetic Stripe, (Genetic Stripe)
12.5% Het. Albino, (Normal)
25% Het. Albino, Het. Genetic Stripe, (Normal)
12.5% Het. Albino, Homozygous Genetic Stripe, (Genetic Stripe)
6.25% Homozygous Albino, (Albino)
12.5% Homozygous Albino, Het. Genetic Stripe, (Albino)
6.25% Homozygous Albino, Homozygous Genetic Stripe, (Albino Genetic Stripe)

Obviously, breeding the Double Het babies to an Albino 100% Het GS or a 100% Het Albino GS would increase you chances of hitting the jackpot.
