Albino LMB

They usually kill any fish that looks genetically different (color, short body, etc) an feed them to the catfish because they are worthless to their business. Maybe I can change their minds.

I'll let everyone know what I find out.

BTW...I get my info from a guy here in town named Ray Scott. Dunno if you've heard of him.

Yeah? If they are not rare then why we dont see them for sale or stocking them into pond? Still rare and almost nonexisted. Thats like albino pink-eyed black lab dog.

It's not impossible, just because you haven't seen one doesn't mean it can't exist.

Snookman please take some pictures!

The fish farm I visited on Monday stocked 4-6inch fingerlings last year and because the genetics were such an issue with clients (1000+ variants over 12 months) they have begun stocking fingerlings at 1-2inches. This is too small for most of these pigmentation genes to show themselves. He did say they usually have only 1 or 2 true albino fish each year and that fish like the one in the pic I posted in the photo lounge on the albino, xanthic, leucistic sticky thread(next to last page) are more common. However, I have located another fish farm that I believe is stocking fish around 6-8inches. Hopefully I'll have an answer soon.
