Very possible.Could it be there is no albino variaty of this fish ?
Maybe just misnamed...but....Could it be there is no albino variaty of this fish ?
Yah thats one of the results I saw... Not much else on the web surprisinglyMaybe just misnamed...but....
The golden giant danio is sometimes known as a partial albino giant danio, so perhaps they get misnamed more often than not
I don't find a single albino one.So I looked them up and was looking at different images but there was only a few actual albino ones. So I don't think that these guys are common at all...
Only thing albinism isn't a "mutated" variaty, occures in the wild and is a completely natural phenomanon. Survivalrates in the wild are low of course which is the reason they are so rareOver the years, I've found some of the 'sports', the popular mutated forms of fish, to come and go. If a breeding line goes wrong, you can always go back to nature (if it hasn't been destroyed) but then you have to start the lines all over again. When I think of how many once common livebearer types would be fun to see again, or how many one off imports of mutated fish have shown up in stores only to vanish... sometimes they are just too cheap for the farms to bother with the extra culling needed to keep them on a market that is looking for other things.
All of the mutations we linebreed happen naturally. It's they are manipulated that make the commercial fish.Only thing albinism isn't a "mutated" variaty, occures in the wild and is a completely natural phenomanon. Survivalrates in the wild are low of course which is the reason they are so rare
Sorry Gary but I lost you.All of the mutations we linebreed happen naturally. It's they are manipulated that make the commercial fish.
There's a higher chance of being able to restart an albino line because it does show up more.
I have had a couple of xanthic mutations among the thousands of fish I've bred, but no albino 'sports'. I imagine the scale of a fish farm's operations gives them a way wider sample. They can restart lines if they see a demand.
The gene spliced creatures are a whole other game, but albino danios were around when I was a teenager. That's an old one.
