Not because both albino gene are recessive that they result on the same allele on each specimen.

If they do, it would be a lot of "chance".

A lot of ghost and axanthic line, look the same but they are not compatible, that's because they are not on the same allele.

Actually the albino gene in both burm and balls could very well be the same gene depending on which type of albinism we are talking about.

A T- albino is a T- albino regardless of what species it is in.

So a T- burm x T- ball would give rise to T- burmballs.

It is rather simple. A T- animal has a complete lack of the tyrosinase enzyme. So if both parents lack the tyrosinase then neither can pass on a functional copy so all the offspring will lack tyrosinase and, therfore, be T-.
