@Koji... New Upload at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-qpQO1uB-8.
@Sugo...The different between Snow White and platinum is : When you turn off the light, Snow White fish still look white (Flourescent), and platinum one doesn't.
And between Albino is the red eyes of Albino.Albino also flourescent when the light off.

I disagree with seperating platinum and snow white. Both mean the same thing. One thing I notice is that though you classified those updated silver as albino, I notice when the fish swimmed downwards the tank or somewhere away the pink light, they appear normal with no yellowish tint colouration which usually appear on albino fish plus some shots in the video are showing the fish having black eyes... But if you are to classify those as platinum/snow white, the redness on their finnage shouldn't be there as well for I have been keeping a platinum/snow white for 2 years since it's 6 inches.

I feel that still pictures of your silvers with close up plus not using any pink light should let us see more in details.

Yes, my fish don't have red eyes.We name its Albino because Snow White is still New name. And about pink colour, all the fish are realy pink colour, for the light we use Philip lamp, 36w/84 made in Poland,the lamp is yellow colour.In Pontianak we call this lamp "Sun Light lamp", we usually use this lamp to make Super Red Arowana more colour Red even in size 10". And behind the pectoral fins, there is 2 scale with red colour, and more bigger this 2 scale become white.Can see the fish when small (3 days from Hatching) at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JyS62ciWnQE

Sorry but it's the norm that albino will have red eyes while platinum/snow white will have black eyes. If it doesnt have red eyes then we cannot call it albino right? And the video you showed really make me see those silvers as normal silvers only...

As for true platinum... seriously, when they are young they already exhibite pure pale whiteness all over them without any tint of colouration on their finnages or even scales regardless in what kinda light. I understand that some asia type of aro like red which come in platinum varity do exhibite some form of light yellowish colouration on their fins but this does not apply on a true platinum silver. Light doesnt play much part in here to make the fish look different. If you ever seen the platinum silver in Aquarama 2007 in singapore, I'm the one who took care of that platinum silver for 2 years and when it's "freshly" aquired from farm at 6 inches, it's already pure white without any form of other colouration on the scales nor on the finnages.

Some other collectors over the world also share the same kinda exprience in identifying the platinum silvers.

But to be fair, a clear picture of them under white light which is not over expose will be a better judge for us here. Dont you agree?

It's very rare. We are already become Arowana Breeder since 1992, and produce Silver Arowana more then 30.000, and just this time got those fish. The same father already got new baby, but non of them are Snow White.

I can see Koji's point in the video when the silvers are not in the light you can see gray and a black line along the body. they can't be albino.

Dude, this is the platinum silver which I took care of in singapore. Fish belong to Aro Dynasty. Owner is sean pang. And this platinum silver is displayed in a custom made wooden craved dragon cabinet with a 6 footer tank running on sump tank system.

And seriously, your silvers are no where similar to this platinum when it's much much smaller. not trying to burst your bubbles but that's the truth. The real thing doesnt have other kinda colouration on it's skin nor scales. It's just plain matt white.

A video of it which appeared in singapore news.
