Not true nekred, there is no factor in determining albinism that asks whether it is a fish, mammal, reptile....etc. It is a gene mutation that effects the ability to produce specific amino acids (in most cases) and has no prejudice whether you swim with the fishes or fly with the birds. Google (true) albino photos and you will see red eyes in pretty much every case.
