Platinum is just another term for leucistic. Also nice to see a photo of my old fish.
Here is a leucistic Amphilophus saggitae. I named him Casper.
Here he is around 2in
Around 6in
Around 10in
And finally the 12in beast

Fish coloration terms can get confusing, especially for newcomers, so having proper definitions in one place makes a big difference. I never realized how many subtle variations there are between things like metallic sheen, marble, and butterfly patterns until reading this. Great resource for anyone trying to describe their fish more accurately!
