Snow/Platinum Arowana ID PLZ

[greenerinks]

Hi MFKers! Happy New Years!

I just recently got back into the hobby and ran into this beautiful specimen at my LFS. Can someone ID this positively as a Leucistic/Snow/Platinum Arowana? It has non metallic pure white scales with slight pink rims. It is priced awkwardly at 3000 @ 24-26". If it is indeed a true Snow/Platinum Silver, I'll pick it up and add it to my BB XB tank.

Thanks for your input!

Looks like a albino to me, but look at that asian arowana in the back I rather take that asian over the albino.

Is your location LA? Why is there an Asian aro in the US?

I live in both in LA and shanghai, China. This was found at a LFS here in Shanghai. The price I stated is in RMB not USD. I already have two asian Arowanas here. A Blue based cross back and a RTG. Prices here are much cheaper, I bought my BB XB for 3000 RMB as well. The RTG was only 700 RMB. Conversion is 6:1 usd to RMB. Leopoldi Rays here are stupid expensive though. So looks like an albino to yall?

If the eyes are black = not an albino

Albino silver, there eyes aren't red

I've never seen one in person, just pics on here but I believe the albinos do have red eyes. Not intense red but some red when observed from an angle. Better red as they mature I think. Believe I learned this from recent threads. Sweet aro nonetheless
