Most albino species of Snakeheads tend to be Channa Striata. Yours could be an exception. Post some pictures!

Hi. nice snakehead. It may be channa spec.platinum, I would expect to see more pink in the eye if it were an albino. Of course it could be leucistic but I have not seen any of these before either.

wow, looks like a leucistic micro to me... if it is this is a very valuable snakehead (a lot leucistic monster fish go for 1000$+ USD and this is the first leucistic micro i've seen)

Chronick, I paid around 14 USD for it, I will update you Octofasciatus if the color of the Eyes become Pink.

It's probably worth more than the 14USD you paid for it.
