Has anyone ever seen or owned an Albino Clown Loach? I don't think I've ever even heard of one..... But I figure there has to be some out there.
 
no, but i bet if there is one wurn would sell his left...um leg for it
 
Interesting. Albinos will still result nevertheless but are rarely found among loaches.

Actually there are few loaches that are albino, like the khuli (sp.), the weather, and a variety of others. I'm sure there are albino clown loaches out there somewhere. I'm also almost positive they are rather expensive and get snatched up QUICKLY.
 
I think most if not all clown loaches are wild collected, albinos do not survive in the wild. Would be unlikely to ever find one.

Actually, there ARE some albinos in the wild. Granted their rate of survival is greatly decreased, but there are still some that have survived. They are out there, just have to find them...;).

That's what I said.:D Albinos will always happen even in the wild.:) What I find interesting is their availability and as you said, it is very possible.
