Finally after a long time of searching, i will take this amazing specimen tomorrow.
It's very rare wild catch albino Polypterus ornatipinnis from Kasai river in D.R.Congo.
In photo, her eyes look black but it's because of angle and she has red eyes.

As everyone knows, she is not just beautiful but also has unlimited possibility in her gene.

For those of us who don’t know, and those who want to learn more, how can you tell she is ornatapinnis if she is full albino?

Even if it's albino, it still has identical pattern in it's tail and pectoral fins

Another Wild catch albino ornatipinnis i saw while trip to Kyoto, Japan in this January.
This one has much stronger yellow color but also has bit deformed dorsal fins.

Price was 600,000 yen (around 5700usd) for 20cm fish.
