Only one member that I know of keeping albino rays here on MFK. I don't think there are many members willing to drop 5 figures on a pair.
When did they get so cheap? Last one I heard of hitting the states was rumored to be $30K now they're 1/6th?

IF people are paying half that for BDs and black mutts not sure why they wouldn't........

Never said they became cheap. Those are your words. 30K is 5 figures.

Maybe a few of us in the states could go in on a few for a breeding project and have joint custody! Lololol

It's already been done a few times before

Nico markH and another nameless person have been trying to breed for a long time

Just because you have albino parents it's no sure thing the pups will be albino your chances just get increase a little bit

Really? I thought it was genetics that if two animals with expressing recessive genes reproduce you would get more recessive expressing animals?

Same here because recessive means your genetics for the trait are rr, so two should be rr x rr with no dominant gene available to sway the characteristics? Unless albino is not a recessive gene and just a mutation?
