I am generally a reef tank nerd, but I setup a tank for my wife, and she really liked the bichirs at the LFS. They had albino ones, and she picked this one because it didn't have red eyes. So we got it for $8 or so. After looking into it, wondering if it were leucistic and not albino. Then I found "Platinum Bichirs" and saw the price tag. What are the chances this guy is a platinum? This is the best pic I could get of him. Any input would be greatly appreciated!
 
Looks like a regular old Senegalus.

Albino should have red eyes. This one doesn't.

Maybe some more pics but I doubt it.
 
See what the sen whispers says.

Freaked out regular sen. Put him on dark substrate and keep the lights off and he'll color right up.
