Ahh,

I’ve got a 120/60 on the PetSmart 50% off sale.... 180’s are kind of the entry level usable size... wouldn’t mind picking one up for cheap!

Here is my albino silver arowana. He's go black eyes, definitely not a platinum. I'd be curious what the think tank here thinks of it.

These are the definitions as in a encyclopedia, and are correct. If its not this its marketing for a color. Albino fish ,reptiles, birds all follow the same rules.
This was the other link thats isnt working.
I mean its pretty cut and dry. Straight forward no levels it is or it isn't. SCIENCE!
“A further difference between albinism and leucism is in eye colour. Due to the lack of melanin production in both the retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE) and iris, those affected by albinism typically have red eyes due to the underlying blood vessels showing through. In contrast, most leucistic animals have normally coloured eyes. This is because the melanocytes of the RPE do not derive from the neural crest.”
