Albino "Red Eye" Giant Gouramy (New Pick Up) - Also, who here has info on them?

Here are a couple photos of the new 4" True Albino "Red Eye" Giant Gouramy I picked up. Don't ask me why it's called/label this way, but this is what they refer it over in SE Asian countries. Not very many out there I'm sure as most are white / golden variants have black eyes. In short, not true albino traits. I've tried other forum mediums and nobody has given me any info on this.

Most the stuff I found is overseas and if offered for sale, are juveniles. Any adult specimens out there? Anyone here knows of or seen this variant? I've had a gray GG this size and it ballooned up to 13 inches quickly before I rehomed it to somebody I knew. To add, I've seen 20 plus white / golden variants in my fishkeeping days and never seen one with a white sheen and red/pink eyes. Thanks

True albino with pink eyes? I only ask as I've seen about 20 plus including the ones in Southern Cali and all are the golden/white variant with black eyes. If so, kool! Finally, somebody responding saying that they saw a true albino GG. I need to make a visit. As for a big tank, I certainly plan on it. Thanks

There are many references I've seen on a Gouramy. I had a gray one before and researched extensively. But as per my prior post, was it a "red eye" albino which is a true variant that you saw at that store or the traditional black eye one?

it might have been white but it was giant im not 100% shure if it was pure is there a difference other than the regular sensitivity to light that comes with most true albinos.and i do recall how light and almost see through whitish pink like a albino

and BTW nice pick up i wish i had space like you
