Albino Clown Loach?

[Peanut_Power]

why are prices still high than?

Probably because its a pain to breed them, plus you gotta have them imported, as most are bred overseas I would assume.... Prices aren't that bad for the most part though, just a few LFS are retarded in their pricing...

Try to google for albino clown loaches.

Round here they're cheap.

Well that increases the odds of finding an albino one if there are any....LoL!! Question is, how does one go about breedin them?

i would think the breeders would keep them to keep as breeding stock to get batches of albinos. and coz they have not been bred in captivity for that long, the breeder stock is still to small.

just my 2 cents

ok.
i have seen albinos once or twice.
they were like double the price of regulars.
but they sold very quickly.
the reason why theyre expensive out there is probably because they grow slow and is hard to breed them.
most fish farms are in asia.
e.g. singapore,malyasia etc.
thats why many fish are much cheaper here.

i said ive only seen them once or twice.
and back then i didnt even know much aout any loach species.
so i dont think i would just walk into a lfs and take a picture of a fish i have no idea about.
but next time i see one,if i see one,i will buy it for sure.

Most, if not all clown loaches are breed

Most clown loaches are not breed. There are few successful breeders of them, however they do not make up the majority of the supply.

My thought as well. I believe most of the stock sold are imported from Borneo and Sumatra
