another trout picture, I once kept a few different albino trouts, lake trouts, kokanee salmon, and rainbows, they were all hatchery fish, wish I still had them, they looked awesome, and are by far the most aggressive feeding fish!

I've heard of a collector in California that collects albinos only, and has an extensive collection. I've also heard that one true leuscistic FRT was sold in California for over $30k, wonder if that person will surface and grace our topic with some new photos. Wonder if this picture will lure him out

That one doesn't look like a hatchling, but is already a large size. Likewise, I haven't seen that true albino pop up again since it sold in Japan.

You guys must have overlooked my comment. So what type of pigmentation would cave dwelling fish fall under? Here is a giraff cat for my question

 

[Oddball]

Well, the creamy overall shade would make it a tyrosinase-negative albino.

Poor fish has a weird and disturbingly hairy growth on his back.
