Albino clownfish

[Sullyman]

I saw an albino pair of occelaris clownfish today. I was picking up some Barttlets anthias from sho tank, I'll have a school of 8 of them now. All male so they don't fight, somehow that seems odd but true so far.
Matt asked if I'd ever seen a pair of Albino clowns, I hadn't, so he told me to look at a certain tank. They were not what I expected. They are orange with white stripes like normal, but they have no black at all and they have red eyes. If you get the chance check them out or if you buy them please post some pics. I don't know if they were bred to be like this or if it's random, more likely the prior now a days.

There was a place in South Africa breeding albinos, do you know where he got them?

They are most likely from Proaquatix, they have been on the market for a couple of months now.

I gotta be honest. I saw your title and expected to see a platinum... then I saw who was posting.

Those are beautiful fish

What was the price tag on the pair?

Matt I didn't ask but they're the clowns in the vid. for sure, Tangerine clowns.
Pretty soon they'll be breeding them with corporate logos.......

I was there as well - I believe they were $150 each. He had another "fancy" pair for a similar price - they were snoflakes. Pretty sure that was the price marked on both tanks

I wonder if they are healthy. . . ?

They don't seem different enough to me to have a heavy price tag

I don't get it...is it just the rarity that appeals to those who think that is a good looking fish?
