: Well, I came, I saw, I was thoroughly impressed!

: Don, ya did it again, man. An albino fish with full melanin expression in the tail pattern. WOW The white tiger, quite officially, RULES.

: I suppose that proves that tail pattern melanism is completely independent of color amelanism in albinoes. Not 100% realistic for real fish, perhaps, but lovely still the same!

**** Atually, if you have the vertion of AZ D2 w/ guppies, their is a book on real guppies in it. It has a very good descution of albinoism. For anyone who wasn't lucky enugh to get this lovely book basically albinoism can be conected to 1 gene, but more often is many. This of corse can result in incompleat albinoism. Hence one part having signs that it is an albino, yet another part have signs that it is not. This goes for all animals, inclueding guppies :). Another thing I found interesting was that the stile of gene trasfer in guppy shape and color is atually close to the oposit in AZ than in real life, lol. It's a cool book. If you have it you should read it.
