No plans so far. It would be fun though. Maybe later on. And i agree, burms are very inbred in captivity, and after speaking to multiple burm experts I was told that in their experience many albinos are very prone to RIs due to stress and other factors.
Thats one reason I'm very happy with this girl. Pure normal, no hets, no captive blood in her, and in a way healthier.
This is not to say all albinos or morphs have defects, but that with such a small gene pool and so much inbreeding its bound to happen. This doesnt mean i am completely against inbreeding or morphs either. I'd love myself a green one day
