Also what would the chances of getting any albino fry out of doing that?

I think they would be het for albino but not albino.

I would have gotten more but I got a subdom from one guy and a female from another. I tried to get more females but they wouldnt budge.

As Jon stated. They would be Het for albino. You would then need to breed one of them with an albino to get some albino fry. Usually maybe 10-20% all the rest but still be Het but would be 75% het versus 50%.
