As I understand it, if both parents carry the albino gene then there is a chance of the odd albino fry. If only one parent has it then there will only be common fry.
Doug has made an excellent post about crosses HERE that will explain it better.

| Fry are better left with parents for the first couple weeks to a month. They eat the parents poo which helps build there ammune system. At about 2cm is good to move into grow out tank. This is unless there's bigger predatory fish like cichlids in the parents tank that could eat the fry. Iv only ever used fry savers for fry that iv hatched in egg tumblers or to keep fish that I'm selling (makes em easier to catch when needed lol) |

| Kfenk has it in one. I ususally move male and eggs to the grow out tank, not just the eggs so that dad can still look after them. If they have already hatched in the breeding tank then i ususally wait til 1.5-2 cms to shift them _________________ Doug's Bristlenose eBook - The number one source of Bristlenose information and the most detailed breeding guide avaliable

i have three batches out right now-had 4 but a pair of hungry guppies must have eaten 30-40 fry over the weekend as I missed
the chance to separate them, and those guppies have not bothered them before  |
