That I agree with. I also think albinos deserve the same treatment.

I agree with your comments on the hybrids but take difference to
albinos. I think I have adequately explained why in an earlier post today.
> Who would potential breeders know who to trust?
Well, I would trust someone like Roy Hunter (even if no one else
would...:-) ) to keep, but never breed an albino. Mind you, I doubt that
he would want to keep them.
But the albinos,

Except if you end up with recessive alleles that you can't see.
Now having albino rainbows, that would really make your "dumb blonds"
story even closer to reality. :-)
