What sex is the albino?, what size tank?

Yes they will probably breed if you add it and yes it usually produces both offspring.

i have a breeding group of brown b/n and im getting some albinos, i can either add them to the adult browns which is a bigger tank, or i can keep them seperate in a smaller tank, would i get like mungrel ie, not one nor the other, or would some be brown and some be abino, or its it better to keep them totally apart, like endler and guppies. di

i have a brown female and a albino male if they breed you will get albinos and browns they wont be like a mix of the colours

Size of the adult tank? (measurements), stating that it's 'bigger' than the other tank doesn't mean that it will hold anymore plecs.

What are the sexes and size of the albino's you are getting?, the reason i asked the question on tank size and sexes will determine which tank they will be suitable for. How big is the 'smaller tank'. measurements not gallon/litres.

They wont produce mongrel offspring, they will more than likely produce both albino and browns.

i have a adult breeding pair in a fifty gal tank, and all the offspring in the 25 gal tank, which tank would you add 6 baby albino's too, once they sex up i can maybe add an adult female abino to the pair in the 50 gal tank, as for how many young in the 25 gal tank, prob 30 or so 1" - 2" and will be gone once i can sell them. di

In that case i would add them to the 25g tank, adding them to young to the adult tank 'could' cause problems. If they are roughly the same age as the babies your growing out in the 25g tank, it makes more sense to add them there until you are able to sex them to move over.
