Hi everyone i have a tinfoil barb that has a white or very light cream color with red fins but its eyes dont seem to be red so i dont think its albino. what could it be? a different species or an albino (?)

Pics?

Without pics, anything anyone says would just be speculation.

It's likely still an albino. They don't always have red eyes. They can lack pigment on their body and still have some pigment in the eye depending on genetics.

Or it may just not look red under your lighting.

The town is ok, but the surrounding area is beautiful . Great national and state forest, swampland, and scenic river areas if you ever get over this way again. Good fishing too.
