🐟 Albino Angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare)
Freshwater Peaceful Community Fish • Genuine Albino Genetics — Bright Red Eyes and a Pure White Body • Captive-Bred, Hardy, and Widely Available
 
📋 The Albino Angelfish is a genuinely striking white variant of the classic freshwater angelfish, distinguished by its bright red eyes — the hallmark of true albino genetics, caused by a complete lack of melanin pigment. Its body is a clean, pale white, sometimes carrying a faint golden tint depending on lighting and diet.
Worth noting for anyone comparing strains: unlike the Platinum Angelfish, which carries a pure metallic-white sheen with normal dark eyes, the Albino Angelfish is genuinely distinguished by its red eyes and a softer, warmer white tone.
Like all domesticated Pterophyllum scalare strains, this is a genuinely hardy, captive-bred fish that adapts well to community and planted aquariums, and forms monogamous breeding pairs that will readily spawn on vertical surfaces like broad leaves or aquarium glass.
