Question Need help to identify a retic

So here's the deal. I am wanting to pick up a new retic for a breeding project. I currently have a 2010 female purple tiger. I am looking at purchasing an albino supertiger or albino supertiger sunfire. My problem is that I really cannot tell the difference between the two. Either that or what I am looking at are misrepresented. I tried emailing Prehistoric pets, because they actually have one that I am looking at, but I cannot get any responses from them. Tried to talk to the guys at the Jon's Jungle booth at the Pomona super show this past weekend, but don't even get me started on that. Anyways, back to business. Who out there knows the visual differences between these two morphs. Any help is greatly appreciated as I am extremely new to Retic morphs. Oh BTW i did search the world of retic morphs but they do not have the pics i need to compare. Thanx.

well, i got it anyways

Well, I did end up picking this little guy up not knowing what he was. As far as I know, he is an albino super tiger. Way too snippy though. Any tricks to mellow these out????

It is an albino super. looks like a white phase from the pic.

hes a baby, I assume ??

let him settle in his new home for about a week.
looks like he is in a aquarium?? If he is, either get him out and into a tub/rack system or into a plastic cage (vision, ap, etc), or put dark paper around the aquarium and a hide or two in there, to help him feel secure. most babies are nippy until the get to know their owner

Easiest way to identify if it's a sunfire, is the bottom half will be a burnt orange colour. Albino super's have a white bottom/belly. The tail will also be a solid burnt orange colour. Easier to tell the difference in person, though.

easiest way to tell is how much you paid !!!

also, the sunfire gene isnt real obvious when mixed with the albino and tiger genes

not a whole lot of albino supertiger sunfires arouns several thousand dollar differenr between albino supers and albino supertiger sunfires
