those aent albino they have to have pink eyes to be albino arent they leusistic? or whatever it is

 

[Zoodiver]

Those are just light colored due to environment. They are being held in a tiny light colored pool. Stress plus matching the surroundings gives you the color they appear to be.

Hi Zoodiver....johnptc said you may be able to answer a question for me. Can Arapaima live in Brackish water conditions? I wanted to PM you but for some reason the forum wont let me.
Thanks Jules

Not something I would try. I've seen them change behavior when salt was added to the water (not even enough to qualify as 'brackish').

There was a study done about a year ago that showed enough genetic difference to seperate Arapaima gigas into 5 different species. It's not something that is widely excepted yet.
