An albino strain of the bitterling Tanakia signifer (Pisces, Cyprinidae, Acheilognathinae) was established through interbreeding using an albino male selected from among the offspring produced from the spawning of 18 wild-caught individuals. This is the first report of albinism in this species. Progeny tests demonstrated that inheritance of the trait follows the expected pattern for a simple autosomal recessive. A stock of 200+ individuals is currently being held at the Kannonzaki Nature History Museum, Japan.
