They showed up in the hobby here in the US about two years ago yann, and I definitely agree on that. The original coloration was much more vivid and pretty.
With that said, yes, that's definitely an albino gibbiceps.

Yup, that's a gibby all right. They go more yellow than white as they get older. Any chance I can use the top pic for for the cat-elog? The albino gibby pic in there isn't as good.
Cheers,

Yeah I'll ask her Jools but it should be ok.
I personally think its a beautiful fish, I do love the gibbys natural colour but the albinos do have that golden colour that albino commons dont get.
