Leucisistic just means reduced pigment (in all types of pigmentation i.e. reds, yellows, greens). Sometimes they will still have noticeable amounts of color. Platinum is a term slapped on by Asian fish retailers to refer to a completely white and colorless (sever leucism?) fish with black eyes. The normal forms of most leucistic fish are silvery or gray (senegal bichir, silver arowana, barramundi), so the transition into a platinum form doesn't require a huge reduction of pigments, or just the reduction of one or two pigment types. However, there are some platinum forms of more colorful fish.
Platinum is a "common"/made-up name for leucism fish, as well as "leucistic" (there's no such word 
)
