Thanks fluke

It looks like a silver to me too
Looks albino but the eyes aren't red....
How much should this aro cost at this size?
 
Yeah it's for sure a silver and a nice looking one at that. As for albino or not there seems to be a lot of discrepancy in this nomenclature with silvers. Scientifically speaking an albino should have red eyes as you allude. However lots of shops and keepers call whiter looking silvers Albinos, so I guess common usage has diverged a bit from science.

Sorry I can't help on pricing as likely very different here and where you live. You might try checking Predatory Fins website to get an idea -- I just saw on a recent YouTube video of theirs they got in a shipment of young silvers from Asia (which Rod referred to as Albinos even though they didn't have red eyes).
 
Honestly to me it seems like some shops just slap an "albino" sticker to up the prices... Atleast where i'm from it's like that... Just like some would call jardinis pearl arowana and try to pass it on as asian aros...
