My local fish store has some decent size 3.5'' oscars they have labeled as albinos. But the problem I have with most albinos in the hobby is that they in fact turn out to be leucistic and get some black coloration on them aka lutino oscars. I'm not a big fan of lutinos. I bought one albino oscar from petsmart and I think he is slowly turning into a leucistic but am praying he don't get any more black color on the fins. What should I look for in TRUE albino oscars?? I will be going to the shop tomorrow so I will take some pics and pick up one or 2. These were gorgeous dark orange colored cool patterns and a nice solid white color. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated... if you can post some pictures of true albino oscars that'd be great.
 
Here is my current albino oscar.... what do you think? lutino or true albino?
