The OB and Albino came from the same Singapore breeders... The same breeder had albino Lab's.. that were clearly not Labs'.. I don't think their website is up anymore, but they had a ton of hybrids and interesting creations. More than just a coincidence when a single breeder suddenly has a ton of "new" albinos and OB strains in a very short period of time.eyezak said:Now what makes you think this is a hybrid? Just because it's an albino doesn't mean automatically it's a hybrid.Albinoism does happen naturally.Now I know there is the OB D.Comp that is a hybrid.Even the forums own profile does not mention the albino D.Comp of being a hybrid http://www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/s ... hp?id=2319.
I certainly hope they are not hybrids When I purchased mine I bought them as albino Dimidiochromis compressiceps not as a hybrid. I searched and could not find anywhere that claimed them to be hybrids but I will contact the dealer I got them from and see what he has to sayFogelhund said:The OB and Albino came from the same Singapore breeders...

Your lucky I just found my Albino Ruby Red on the floor and my Albino D.Comp no where to be foundDEREK21 said:I bought an albino d.compress in Rockville MD 2 weeks ago. I had a long trip to pittsburgh tho.
He lived 6 days and I thought I was in the clear. Then on Day 7 he was stuck to the prefilter on my powerhead.
FYI - cost me 22 bucks, but they're giving me store credit for him.
I work at a fish store and we ordered regular Malawi Eye Bites and got an albino in. I was not under the impression that they were that rare. Are there multiple types?Desi<3 said:Lucky! $14?How did you do it? My LFS will only come down on oscars (and I dont want an oscar) and a pretty guy like that would cost me about $40
:x Talk about crazy!
They are not rare around here. I see a lot of them. Only started popping up the last year or so.Jonesab7 said:I work at a fish store and we ordered regular Malawi Eye Bites and got an albino in.
