Have they got red eyes, cause then they are true albinos, and if your reply is yes then they may prefer your lighting to be dimmed a little.

They are as rare as you would find albino deer or almost any other animal, so yes to some extent.

I would try placing paper under the light, it always worked for me, but not all albinos need dimmer lights, Do they seem fine in the light? I would definately breed them, sometimes all the babies won't be albino, but most should be, but because there probably is some trace of NOT albino mollies in them there is always the chance since it is a deformation which possibly could carry down as a trait.
