What would happen if an Albino and Tiger oscar breed?

What would the spawn be like?

If anyone has photos would be great to see :)
 
I had such a pair sometime ago. the offsprings were either albino or tiger and nothing in between. Hope that you will have better luck than I did.
 
you would have more oscars.

albinism is a recessive gene so you would only have some albino fry if your tiger oscar had the recessive gene for albinism also. otherwise, youll just have all tiger oscars that were heterozygous for albino.

Dang I was going to say this, just without the fancy words like "heterozygous" and "recessive". Beat me to it.
