I managed to get one Albino RES recently and I absolutely love it. I have named it "Golden". Only thing is, I think it is getting lonely swimming all alone in the tank.

I hope I could get a companion for Golden. I was tempted to buy a normal green RES but read somewhere that Golden would lose out as it could not see as well as the normal type.

Please do let me know where I could get another Albino RES for Golden.

Thanks.

Thanks. I am concerned about this as I learnt that being albion, Golden's eyesight is not good (I can observe this from his eating behaviour - he keeps missing his food and would sometimes make a wild grab at my guppies!) and he would definitely lose out in the company of normal RES.

Thus I hope to be able to find a companion for Golden - another albino will be ideal. A pastel should be ok too.

Thanks for your replies.

I saw an albino going for $3,888 in one of the farms here. And an albino from US? Only cost USD200-300+ and if u take theses paperworks into consideration it's still gonna be much cheaper.

Albinos are going at abt 700-900 sgd in singapore lfs la bro..
I know which farm that was btw

Lets do calculations... If its 300 dollars. The exchange rate as 1.5.

450 sgd for the cost. Ur import/export papers, freight, health certs.
Probably about 200-300 dollars.

Just buy in sg la... Can choose summore
