albinos

[Keith Cheng]

Our experience with growing up albinos has been that they are very 
difficult to breed, have a high rate of death through embryogenesis, and 
are more susceptible to death as adults as compared with wild-type 
strains, with which we currently have little trouble.  Does anyone out 
there:

1) know how to increase their survival especially through the first 30 
days, or 
2) have an albino strain (white eye as embryo and red as adult) that is 
not such a pain?  We would greatly benefit from such a strain.

Thanks!
