+ it would be a risky buy. First time seller from Indonesia. I think I will pass. Although I've seen a lot on aquabid I would like to have.

wow, talk about irresponsible. I can't believe the breeder would sell her in the first place. Albinos come with so many genetic problems, and most become blind. To breed for albinos is horrible, and it definately doesn't help the breed as a whole. Albino fish honestly should be considered culls, or be sold as pets.

Wow, she's beautiful! I won't be getting her, though. More than my hubby's truck is worth!

I'm not going to argue the ethics of albinism in fish breeding, my main point is a true albino betta is incredibly rare. They have been documented twice, in 1927 and 1953, with an unconfirmed claim in 1994.
