The above are the latest pictures(03/06/09) of the F1's I kept. They are a year old and hope to breed them in the near future.
An off spring AB Ver.1Do you believe in fate? I do. At the end of 2006, Kelvin of Rainbow Discus, was selling a batch of Albino Blue Diamonds(ABD). Being a close friend, he offered me a good bargain. The first piece that caught my eye was a unique albino blue snake(ABS) as it was the only piece to be out of the 30 over pcs of ABD. However, I did not choose that pcs as the rest were far superior in shape and form. Not sure how that ABS came to be in a batch of ABD!
Albino Blue snake Female
I bought a pair home to extend my breeding of albino discus. 3 months passed but no results from the pair. Sold it away and went back to Kelvin again to try my luck a second time. The albino blue snake was still there and Kelvin had already sold most of the ABD. Bought another pair from the remaining 10 pcs.
Same story after another 3 months, the pair was not willing to breed. A decent offer came and I sold them off. At about this time I managed to get hold of a male Albino Cobalt. My good friend, Mr Lim of Pasir Ris, reluctantly sold the male to me. I was back at Kelvin's farm and surprisingly he still had 3 ABD left of which was the ABS female. Finally, I took her home.
The loving pair
Got her to pair off with the Albino Cobalt and 2 weeks later, the 1st batch arrived. I felt elated. As usual with most albino breeding, the batch did not make it. However, I had gotten my hands on a ABS female that was willing to breed every week! 2nd batch was successful and I did not even need foster parents. This pair has not stopped breeding since. They know how to space themselves and will carry a successful batch after at least 2 unsuccessful batch.

The broods are not big but the range of off springs in the batch is quite interesting. They range from ABD, Albino cobalts. ABS, Golden Albinos, Albino Snakes, Albino turquoise and some I have no descriptions . I kept the more solid color off springs which turned out to be good prospects.
The first batch has already reached adult size and show exceptional body shape. Work is still under way for my "Albino Blue series Ver.1"
