Hi,
I know this may sound like a stupid question, but what is the differance between a Albino and a Lutino, other than that Lutinos have normal eye colouration?
thank for any answers.

the difference is that an albino has a total lack of pigmentation whereas a lutino or leucistic fish is lacking or mostly lacking chromatophores. Not a true albino (ie: colored eyes).


in the aquarium trade an true albino oscar is very rare and would be a very valuable . most fish store might label a fish an albino but in reality they are lutinos.

So a true albino is fully white including the eyes??

does that mean albinos have no colored markings, whereas lutinos are completely white, i thought i had an albino, but i guess its a lutino

an albino and a lutino can be interchangeable names in most places.
but a true albino is supposed to be no pigmentation wherein you can
almost see the veins in their body. necro has good explanation on
this topic..
