While coral albinos are stunningly high contrast, I have to wonder if

orange isn't just as nice. While it doesn't have the high-contrast "PUNCH" as the corals, it has a very charming, subtle beauty of it's own.

But then, I may just be biased...



Sorry for the flash wash-out in these three, but you can still see some color.

Thank you for your kind post. She has never been a favorite here on this forum. Even when I posted pics of her when she was younger, she was ignored. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

but then again, I may be a bit biased to orange albinos too.

Beautiful animal!

that one have an orange belly too? You know, I didn't even know my girl had an orange belly until our last photo shoot? I don't tend to look at their bellies during our shoots. Can't wait to see if the color will get stronger or if it will fade.
I do wish mine would have retained the orange saddles yours has.
Is yours stripe line? In my opinion they tend to have the best color. No matter what line, yours is very outstanding!

Yes, he does have an orange belly and he is 100% het stripe. I am thrilled with the way he has turned out. He is an '03 and hopefully he will have some interest in the ladies this year. This is his girlfriend. She is an extremely clean and red het. More color than this crummy pic shows, but you can still get the idea.

I think they will be a nice match. Still can't get over all his color. He is everything I look for in an albino...Reminds me of some of the adult sunglows I've seen.

I will definitely have to add a couple of stripeline (although my female has some nice color, I do not know if she has any stripeline in her genetics)to my collection. But, since you never know how a baby will grow out, I will have to seek out available adults with the traits I want...which will be very hard to come by.
