Hey! That's chuck norris' fish. How'd U steal it from him!
 
Its eyes are black, so it's not albino. Its color is light, could be leucism (platinum) or xanthic (gold) The only way can tell for sure is an inspection in person :D
 
Oh it is 100% Pirarucu and from the pics id say it was a xanthic or Goldern. (from pics to the best of my knowledge lke to see in person but unrealistic). Thats gotta have a silly hi price tag?
 
Looks to be one of the "gold" colored pimas. Not bright gold or xanthic, but they have a more goldish brown base instead of olive green.. nice fish! I have yet to see any albino or platinum pimas but I have seen a couple light white "false" platinum type fish that look very nice.
 
Great information!.

I really appreciate your info. how alone ago did you see the white "false"? I've been told that last time they were able to get anything like this was 5 years ago from my source of course, obviously they were taken to Asia.

I wonder which of these are the most wanted, and rare of all.

white "false"
albino or platinum
Gold or Xanthic

I'm not into Arowanas myself but I do appreciate and exotic and rare fish when I see it. What do you mean by "Looks to be one of the "gold" colored pimas. Not bright gold or xanthic"
