Albino Transnow
Apr 2024 Start of albino Transnow
Transnow is the earliest strain I established , when a strain has been breed for over 2 years without introduce new gene (cross and inner breed). it has high chance to start getting albino as part of regular mutation specially the original strain has albino gene.
Albino Transnow has a major character difference from the Transnow strain, the tail has red spots on the top and bottom portion. In the regular Transnow, I do see some red spots, but we decide not to keep them but just the center red spot on the lower body.
In the albino Transnow, I do have some of them with no red dots, but that just looks like exactly like the original Transnow, the only difference is the color of the eyes. so I decided to keep the red dots on albino version.
Theoretically if we called a form of albino from one of the strain, it suppose looks like exactly the same but without black color pigments. in this definition, I should not call this strain albino Transnow.
Oct 2024 female and strain status
The male genes are very stable, in my first batch, I got 10 males, 6 of them are as I expected with red dots, some have more dots than the others. average in about 5 dots in each side.
I also got 4 of them have no red dots, I decide to not continue with this so they will be separated into raising tank. I actually would like to enhance the red dots to see if I can get full red dots on a white tail. I may need to rename it if I can achieve that.
I also would like to add more white in males tail as well.
The female somehow appears very different from other albinos, it has white color tail and dorsal fin as well, lighter than male, but definitely different compares with other strains. also, it has golden body rather than yellow in other strains as well, I would keep enhancing in this way.
