What are you feeding your albino silver Jason?

excuse me if i'm wrong, but is it just called an albino but not a true albino?

the eyes are not red/pink. isn't it a platinum since the eyes are black?

Super nice fish! I was thinking the same as Sumoninja though

He hasn't ate yet.

Can you answer the question from Sumo?

He is just a little skittish at the moment.

There are a few threads explaining the difference... depending on the severity of albinism, the reds of an albino may or may not be red/pinkish. If this fish was a platinum silver.. It would be worth much more than an albino silver arowana... many, many times more.

could it be possible it is a platinum and mistakenly sold as an albino? but, ok. didn't know some albinos can have dark eyes

my untrained eyes can't tell. thanks for responding

NP! I'm not an expert on this... Tom(Aquanero) would be able to answer your question in much more detail! And let's hope Jason got a platinum by mistake
