Albino Endler's Livebearer, Adrian HD

Armando and others have noted "blond" males in the wild or discussed albino ELB's. Also, periodically there arises a male this is 2- 3 times the mass, 150-160% the length of normal males and they seem to have fewer chromatophores than normal males, so much so that they confuse the other males. Here is an image of one Armando sent, pure ELB, just a variant:

(Since photos can be sized and you can't really tell the actual size, I have given the image below a size relative to this fish so you cxan compate them visually for size.) What some used to refer to as albino, Adrian, Armando, and others now call a blond male, designating coloration as opposed to a physiological state (albinism). This is much more accurate since the fish has melanin pigmentation as can be seen in the eye. Here is one of his blond males:

The term Albino comes form the Latin word for “white.” It as first applied to west Africans when seen by Portuguese in the area because there were white when the other people were black. Since the primary color of our skin comes from the only real pigmentation of the skin, melanin (eumelanins (reddish to brown) and phaeomelanins (black)) which are the pigments of human skin but also interact with some other colored organic chemicals to produce other colors as mixtures of these.
The difference in people color is determined by the amount of melanin in the skin. Speciation requires numerous variations of proteins and structures from the two beings that are being compared. This is what took so long to determine ELB’s were not guppies, there are small variations in how they behave, how they react to temperature, differences in the gonopodium, and in how sperm is delivered.
This is why the idea of various human “races” is absurd. The only group of people that have any identifiable difference are red heads who use very little eumelanins and more phaeomelanins in the skin and hair yielding the red coloration. There is only one race of humans. But where redheaded people use less eumelanin, albinos don’t produce any melanins (there are also partial albinos), so the color you see is from the blood circulation. An albino who is cyanotic (lack of oxygen) really turns blue. Dark skined people, like my uncle (very black) don't experience as much of an increase in melanin when exposed to sunlight because they already have lots of melanin to protect them from the sun. The down side is, they also produce less vitamin D a strong anti-cancer nutrient and one of the reasons everyone is off base with the idea of staying out of the sun and using sun screens. This will have the affect of raising the cancer levels. Mark my words.

But, I digress. . .

Adrian HD has albino guppies x ELB to produce some variants (below) and available for purchase from him at Swamp River Aquatics. These are his pictures below. They were then bred back to wild sock ELB, but again, these are not pure ELB, but great looking fish! They are true albinos, note the lack of pigment in the eye. Also note there are other colors (the eye color is from blood). Fish have a different group of chemiacls in their tissue than just melanins, so they can be albino (lack malanin) and still have some color.
