For all those that like to say that oddballs will not survive in nature..
I have not even got out my Wild Albino's, leucistics and wild hybrids yet.

Thank tr6,
the repitle industry has the greatest variety of color pigment varients.
Just for kicks, google images of snakes color varients and patterns.
They are always healthy and do very well, and all the original color varients were discovered in the wild in sub-adult or adult sizes, doing well.
Even the albino alligator was discovered in the wild and was thriving.

Great link TR6 gotta send that pic to the misses, she's gonna love it!

Hey Tr6 us oddballs have to stick together. I think everyone who are into African Cichlids are a little odd, or maybe we are normal and everyone else is odd???

Here is a cool oddball... piebald catfish that has a reputation for desecrating ponds of all wildlife and then walking on to its next location.
