A year or so someone on another forum had a albino piranha for sale.being that they'd look so different from normal piranha they probably get cannibalized at a very early age.my last few spawnings, my rbp have produced some very light colored babies,but no true albinos yet.

I think i remember the p your talking about on aquabuy or something. Im not sure if it was a true albino or just pale or someother genetic problem. Albionos can happen in other fish so i would assume it could happen in p's too, the only problem is only reds are commonly bred and being a cannibilistic fish in the wild or an aquarium the oddballs usually go fisrt. Ebjd are found in the wild, but their difference in colour makes them very rare in nature as they usually die first. ebjd-electric blue jack dempsy

I've never actually thought about albino Piranhas, but I do believe that it would be possible. It's amazing that members on here don't have one, If anyone had one I'd put money on it that they are a P-fury member. Can you imagine what kinda of $$$ an albino piranha would bring.

If you want an albino fish chances are it will be captive bred. Wild fish have certain colors for a reason so an albino fish sticks out like a sore thumd and will be eaten or killed pretty fast. In captivity you can seperate it to raise it, but in the wild most oddities wont be around long
