Vallisneria Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 I remember reading(something that RD posted in a thread over at CF) that the albinos are also hybrids. Is this true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RD. Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Personally I think it's ugly, nor do I believe it's pure. Considering the thousands of breeders world wide of this species, that is the only picture I have ever seen of one, outside of the hybrids that are bred in Asia. I've also never once heard mention of anyone breeding these, but I'm sure they too will suddenly surface in the fish trade scene. To be honest, I have no idea why C-F added that to the profiles.

RD. Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Here's a beauty from Thailand. LABIDOCHROMIS CAERULEUS ALBINO [LABIDOCHROMIS YELLOW ALBINO] http://www.ppaquarium.com/view.asp?page=TN390 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rahim101 Posted March 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 That one looks like a Pseudotropheus socolofi (Albino)!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RD. Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 It's looks like something, that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rahim101 Posted March 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 The one from cichlid forum looks kinda neat!!!!! I wonder if it occurs naturely or of it is crossed???? To my understanding, if you inbreed your fish several times, it occers in the 7th generation!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vallisneria Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 To my understanding, if you inbreed your fish several times, it occers in the 7th generation!!!!!! Well if this is true wouldn't there be alot more albino yellow labs considering how imbred most are??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RD. Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 To my understanding, if you inbreed your fish several times, it occers in the 7th generation!!!!!! If that was true, then in the case of the L. caeruleus there should be several thousand albinos of this species to have surfaced by now. Yet the one shown in the profiles of C-F is the only example I have ever seen, nor have I ever heard of any surfacing. Seems odd, doesn't it? All that fish looks like to me is a washed out yellow lab with pink eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
African_Fever Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Wow. The second looks nothing like a lab. My thoughts mirror Neil's exactly. Why didn't albino labs appear in the 80's when the Brichard's were breeding them by the millions in Burundi? With the way that albino's are 'appearing now', pretty soon everything will be available in albino as well. Riverfront actually has some albino 'peacocks' in a with a tank of regular Sc. fryeri, and the albino's look much more like fryeri than any albino peacocks I've ever seen (there was actually a female carrying when Ty and I stopped by on the weekend). This is part of the reason I started the thred on albino's in the breeding section. With as many members as the board has, you'd think that one would've had an albino fry at some point.
