Hi Albinoeupterus,

Welcome to PlanetCatfish!

About your fish, to me it looks more piebald than albino.

Cheers, Eric

It seems they have just appeared on the Predatory Fins list some months ago? And under the name cited in the OP.

I know the thread's gone a bit cold, but this looks a more like LLD to me than anything else.

Cheers,

Lateral line depigmentation would run along the lateral line wouldn't it? This seems too random to be that and looks like a piebald mutation. But I'm not catfish expert.

It certainly isn't an albino with the eye pigmentation the picture shows.

Funny that they are suddenly showing up, and in the US first it seems, I saw two specimens this weekend at the OCA Extravaganza. And even though I am normally not into this colouration and especially not in man made forms, they can look rather stunning really. I will upload photos later to compare, the two were very different to each other.
