You definitely did a fantastic job laying that all out. so here is my question. Is there a single gene that creates the gold albino or does it have to be a combination of genes? Also if someone could help me identify this little guy. His mom is a gold albino and dad is a yellow (ish) albino (he looks just albino but he was sold to me as a yellow albino). Thanks for your thoughts!!

A golden albio is D/- M/- a/a AX/-
An albino with any other recessive trait (d/d, m/m or ax/ax) will result in a white animal with no iridophores. Some of these go yellowy as they get older, but they will never develop iridophores.
Your is a golden albino - and you can see iridophores down its gills.

Awesome. I thought it was a gold but I wasn't for sure. I totally thought that golds were totally recessive and harder to breed. I guess you learn something new every day!
