Albino Grayband

a153fish Dec 31, 2011 08:04 PM

Is there such a thing as pure albino Graybands, or are they derived from Ruthie blood? I know there were some Alterna X Amel Ruthvens years ago that were pretty popular.

Yep.... It seems KS allows folks to advertise amel alterna and thayeri hybrids as non hybrids......

That's because to KS, a King is a King is a King. Just like how home boys king on king action down below is allowed.

Btw..... No amel thayeri have been produced since 1993 and that one was killed by it's het sibling.......
It is still a controversial subject IMHO because no one really knows what happened to the parents or sibling.......

I know of a potential pure thayeri amel that was produced this year. The producer is not claiming it to be pure thayeri but it did come from animals that were thought to be pure. He is still researching the backround.

As far as the albino alterna, I agree there are no pure albino alterna in existence from reputable sources.

I was 99% sure they weren't but for 2 grand, I thought maybe somebody did find some? Yet even the pics don't look pure. That watch is hilarious!
