Albino basically meens "white" or "pale" It's a recesive genetic trait that isn't seen very often, but every now and then there's it becomes the dominate gene. There are all sorts of albino creatures, even people.

Albino does not mean "white" or "pale". Albinism is the condition in which an animal is lacking all black pigment. Albino animals come in many different colors but the one thing they all have in common is that they have no black.
Also, albinism is never a dominant gene. It is a recessive gene but by chance in the wild or through selective breeding in captivity it sometimes happens that some animals end up lacking the normal dominant gene and are left with only albino genes as far as pigmentation goes.
I've seen albino RES for sale in the classifieds here but they don't cost 8 bucks like normal RES do. But how cute!
