🐟 Albino Pearlscale Angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare)
Freshwater Peaceful Community Fish • Genuine Albino Genetics Combined with the Pearlscale Gene • Reflective, Textured Shimmer Across a Pure White Body
 
📋 The Albino Pearlscale Angelfish combines two genuinely distinct genetic traits: albinism, giving it bright red eyes from a true lack of melanin pigment, and the pearlscale gene, a well-documented mutation that raises and textures the scales into a reflective, almost diamond-like shimmer under aquarium lighting.
The body itself runs pure white to creamy, and the pearlscale effect is genuinely most visible along the flanks, catching light differently to standard smooth-scaled strains.
Like other domesticated Pterophyllum scalare strains, this is a genuinely hardy, captive-bred fish that adapts well to community and planted aquariums, standing out particularly well against dark or heavily planted backgrounds where its shimmer contrasts strongly.
