whats the difference between platinum and albino fish?

[icherno7]

just curious

 

[Stinkiray]

A simple(but not entirely accurate) way to put it is

Platinum-lacking certain color pigments(and if I'm not mistaken, it's just a type of albinism)
Albino-lacking all/most color pigments

And there's more to that. There's a lot of variants even for albino.

To be honest the only platinum fish worth buying is a platinum aro

I actually saw a platinum aro for sale last time i was out in the fishmarket here in HK although it came with a price tag of HKD $88,000 which is roughly USD $11,282... for a fish that was maybe a little over 12"...
