Albino frenatus clownfish
Hi guys, ive recently discovered that my frenatus pair are heterozygous for albinism and throw out a number of albino offspring in each clutch. Im new to breeding clowns and have only raised up a few batches over the last year or so.
Has anyone else seen albino frenatus clowns before? Andrew |

Ok, ive created an album on my user profile and loaded 2 images there.
Not the prettiest of fishes but rather unique and id really be interested to know if anyone has encountered this before. |

But to answer your question, I personally haven't seen this before.

What are the odds, considering BOTH parents must be carriers of the gene in order to express it in the next generation?

There was someone breeding Albino clowns in South Africa a few years ago.
