Albino Swordtail Fry

[Bonniegiff]

I have Red Velvet Swordtails two Female and one male. The first time one of the femails had fry they were pure red. The second time which was in July of this year 5 of the fry are albino. Does that happen frequerntly or is it rare.

They happen, as you've seen.
Stores can order them by the hundreds from the Asian breeders.
If they have a red/redish spot on the top of the head, it's called a red-wash.

Here is one companies sales list. They show Albanios for sale in boxes of 600.

i have quite a few complaints about your website... first of all you sell dyed fish? thats a shame... second of all, you have half your fish and scienctific names WRONG.... third of all, come on... if you are a populer importer/breeder you all should know how to properly BAG the fish..... yeah not happy, until i see inprovement ill be letting my local fish stores know NOT to order from you guys. infact ill put it up everywhere...
