yep, if it has the genes

so your saying a fish could be born normal and turn albino? do you have any scientific proof or you just answer "yep" on a regular basis?

Albinsim is different than xanthism.

An albino fish will be born albino. An xanthic fish can "morph", usually when small. Think of red devils. In the wild 90% are brown barred, but in tanks the majority are orange. All red devil fry start off barred though, and "morph" to the red form. Same deal.

my Jag was just like any other jag untill he was about 6inches, then he started going through a "change" into his Xanthic self that he is 2day
