A poor marketing name for a fish I found very unpleasant when I kept it. Much more violent than any peacock here. Mbuna are cool with mbuna, but they don't play well with others.

Well, if the eyes are pink or red (not dark red), they're albinos. Dark red would be lutino. If their eyes are pink or red but the skin is having pigment, they're ocular albinos. Real albinos (oculocutaneous albino) are also lacking pigment in the skin. White skin or very pale (just a slight amount of pigment) skin but no red or pink eyes are leucistic specimens. As long as those eyes are not pink or red, they shouldn't be called "albino".
