What will this Oscar look like?

If it was a true albino, the pupils of the eyes would be pink.
What size is it now?
Might look pretty good, but I must admit I'm not a fan of albinos, whether oscars or any other fish.

If it's truly an albino fish it wouldn't be showing any black pigment, and would have pink pupils.
Yeah, I know
that is why I put albino in quotation marks! My understanding is very few "albino" Oscars really are albino, but that is what they are sold as. I have never seen one that was this grey though. He was about 3.5 inches, and though he had some glints of red in his eyes he definitely a solid(ish) grey color. So I am curious what he would turn out like as an adult. I don't like most albino fish, but a few of the "less albino" albino Os are kind of cool...
I guess maybe he would technically be called lutino?
Anyway, the bottom picture captured his color more accurately.

Maybe I'll get him and grow him out a bit. I do want a group of Os with some variety for my 700g... but wait, I already have 8 
- To be fair though I think I am going to keep the Crassipinnis Oscars in their own tank and see if I can get them to breed.
I want and Oscars that ends up looking like this:
Sold as Albino Red Oscars, but the less albino-y ones turn out kind of cool, IMO. But I never like the red eyes...
