    Was checking out my 20 long endler tank and found what appears to be a blonde endler amongst all the rest (black bars I THINK) Managed to get a BLURRY picture of one of them. I have had these endlers for quite some time so apparently two of my endlers where carrying the recessive albino gene and whammo I got a few blondes out to the deal.

    hard to tell fro the pict...but looks like a female, but I always thought the blonde ones were more golden than yellowish?

    I know the pic is terrible but it isn't easy getting pics of these guys. I am basically wondering where in the world it came from.

    Albino genetics are rare in almost anything. You just might have a gold mine there if you breed it right! ^^

    Every now and then I'll get a blonde Endler. Someone once said if you end up with a blonde one then the Endler's are not pure. Now in my case I know for a fact mine are pure. They came from Adrian, one of the main people responsible for importing these beautiful fish into the US and other countries.

    I too have heard the bunk that if endlers throw a blonde they are not pure class N but I also know as a fact mine are pure as they came from an importer I know in Cali.
