	Albino guppy
Callatya Moderator The girl's got crabs! Posts: 9662 Kudos: 5261 Registered: 16-Sep-2001	I'm not sure what sort of albino. I found these guys at a city pet shop on the weekend. They are very hard to photograph! For animals, the entire universe has been neatly divided into things to (a) mate with, (b) eat, (c) run away from, and (d) rocks. - Terry Pratchett
