Albinos???

[santoury]

Are the albinos that are taking over palmas, or senegalus?

And why are they... CHEAP????? $8.99 to $13.99 a pop.

I just can't understand it?

The only albinos widely available in the market are albino senegals. They are cheap because they are mass produced in the farms somewhere in Asia. Also sometimes LFS will mislabel an albino senegal as an albino palmas.

albinos are cheap because they have no color?.. it takes more money to make colors fishes

With the popularity of the fish, they're becoming more available.

agree with is300zx. the albinos you see taking over are senegalus. they are just mislabeled by LFS. in fact, sometimes even online stores mislabel them as palmas.

they are cheap now because they are mass produced and becoming so widely available.
