They look pretty cool. Looks like they have black eyes though and not red. Is it just the pictures or do they have black eyes.

I bet, they look cool. Been thinking about gettin a wallago attu but I don't have the room.
sometimes Ompok bimaculatus comes in albino forms...very similar appearance but only reachs 16 inches or so in length and doesnt seem to like to kill things (thankfully for me since i have three regulars living in my tanks now).

I'm afraid that what you have is Ompok bimaculatus. These Ompok cats used to be categorized within the genus Wallago and are still occassionally sold as such. To date, there are no readily available albino or leucistic morphs of Wallago leeri. And, of the handful of very expensive albino individuals, none have been offered outside of Asia.

Oddball that's what I was going to say. They look cool, but albino or not, that looks like an ompok, not wallago.
