(That said, I went the dreamsicle route myself. But I had to start with het lavenders, because of the $$$... plus side is, I'll probably produce a bunch of lavender albinos along the way. Minus side is, it'll take much longer with hets.)

it has been about a year since I looked at the prices for lavs. :p

um last I saw Lavs were going for 3500-4500 male-female. hets usually about 1200-1500 a pair. that was recent.

This will be an interesting project ... I don't care which one...i Think bright looking pieds will look great!

Go for it! :gj:

Yeah, the prices I saw were recent.

ive seen a het female for $750!

if it was me, id go for the dream route, by the time you produce the dream, you could probably buy a pair of dbl het albino pieds for about $1000.

I'm also working on this project! I am going with the loong loooong term version tho with a pair of het albino and a pair of het pied, I love both the albino and the pied so having them along the way will be sweet but I think the combo of them is just amazing...and I must say, for the price difference, if you're just going with the asthetics, I think the dreams are not that much more appealing than the regular ole albino pied.

Dreamsicle :gj: But you can't go wrong with either!!

Albino pieds look better as adults than lavender albino pied do.

i have to say either is an incredible representation of what can be done with balls. However for what regular albinos are going for these days it wouldn't take that more of an investment to go for both.

If you can afford a lavender, it will be not difficult to afford another female regular albino.. probably you can ask for a bonus female albino from the breeder you purchase the lavender lol.
