Albino Glass, one of my favorite. Can clearly see the eggs and organs inside the fish's body, especially the females.

Other Common Names

Albino Blue, Double Recessive

History This is a Taiwanese version of the strain.

Description This Taiwanese strain has the big body and fins of North American strains and the genetics of an Asian guppy. It is related to the common farm Singapore blue neon "tuxedo" guppy fish found in stores everywhere. But the use of North American genes in combination with Asian genetics has produced a stunner. It is an albino.

The particulars Genetics strain we show above is actually a black-red that has helped the blue neon mutation. It is therefore to albino. It is a double recessive.
