    Ceratophrys cranwelli SNOW! Two recessive traits (albino and leucistic?) in one frog with the translucent skin... Second picture shows final stage of the 'bleaching'. Within a week or so from the tail loss, they loose all traces of the yellow pigmentation... Out of some 900 albino froglets just a dozen or so look like this...

    These are a type of albino. They fully lack melanin (the red eyes)

    they also lack yellow pigment. It is yet another recessive trait, unrealated to albinism. Out of 3 pairs of albino we bred recently only one produced that kind of offspring. Shortly after metamorphosis they look like regular albino, and soon afterwards they "bleach". The one with yellow patch on the back is already white, by now...

    my two phantoms here do not produce phantom when bred together.
    So even with line breeding say 3 or four generations you still ca b there predict if not all a majority of your spawn.

    You have to line breed for many generations it seems to focus on producing only one specific color per spawn

    Well, that is what we are planning to do hopefully all "whites" will reach adulthood.

    I never thought to compare it to fish as many chiclids as I bred
