Congrats on the berried female!
However, your shrimp is neither albino, nor actually "white" genetically. It's just one of those shrimp that loses coloration completely for long periods of time. The last pictures you posted show clearly how it's turning reddish again. I fell for that a few times when I separated what I though were "white" shrimp to selectively breed them. After a few months they turned deep red. The real white mutation produces bluish eggs.

I think they are 2 different shrimps, i actually counted more than 4 berried shrimps!!
Re: My white super albino berried pic
That's possible, but neither of them is genetically "white" or albino. I've even fallen for that in the past when I separated shrimp into another tank that I thought were genetically white (there was no color on them) only to find out a few days or weeks later that they had turned reddish and then blood red. There appear to be many factors that influence the coloration of any given shrimp.
