although a nice patterned black leo is nicer to the eye that white ray is sick looking

I KNOW IN ANY OTHER ANIMAL LEUSISTIC MEANS NO PIGMENT. SO NOT AN ALBINO. JUST A REG. ANIMAL WITHOUT PIGMENT. ALBINO IS ALWAYS WITH THE RED EYES. IN OTHER ANIMALS SUCH AS SNAKES U HAVE TO BREED THE ALBINO TO A REGULAR. THEN U TAKE THOSE OFFSRING WITH THE ALBINO GENE BACK TO THE ALBINO. THATS HOW U HAVE A BETTER CHANCE OF GETTING AN ALBINO. SO THE ANIMAL THAT WILL GIVE U YOUR ALBINO BABIES WILL BE A REGULAR WITH AN ALBINO PARENT.

playing "GOD" and doing selective inbreeding scares me

It is leusistic thats the name, Same as our Pearl ray and it has red eyes as well.

No, these are not leucistic.
In a leucistic animal all pigments are reduced, some show a pure white, but has black or blue eyes.

Albinos have no melanin (black pigment) but they show yellow and/or red pigmentation. In snakes albinos are white/yellow.

In birds the yellow variant is called lutino.

Nico is also a bird breeder, so he call his albino leopoldi a lutino because this ray show yellow spots.

Albinos dont even have red pigment.

Its the reflection of the blood in the eyes, that makes the eyes look red.

Your right Andres Nico called his leo and my pearl Lutino that was the correct word I was looking for. So would it be safe to say Nico ray is lutino and my pearl is albino? He told me my pearl was also lutino?

You are right, thank you for correction!
The black and red pigments are both melanin and albinos have no melanin. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melanin

The blood pigment is haemoglobin (and not melanin) and is even in albinos red.
