    Frankly I dont find any difference as well. But, below are the 2 difference suggestion.

    1.Pink shades on the dorsal and ventral fin in platinums against very light blue shades on bd's.

    2. Prominent red eyes on platinum against bds. other than that no such differences, hope it helps.

    I agree. Think they are the same just a fancier name for the price tag. As for the red eyes, they are albinos and all should have them.

    They might have descended from different lines?

    I read that platinum was the result of blue diamond X Snow white (not certain this would breed true)
    AP is just that the albino form of BD X SW
    ABD is just an albino form of BD

    but I too would like to understand the lineage of platinum

    Albino platinum doesn't have any blue iridescence on its fins based on my observation. I have tested this out by feeding blue-enhancing food to my platinum and they do not show any blue. Albino platinum are usually very white or have a slight shade of yellow. Albino blue diamond, on the other hand, does have a slight blue iridescence.

    This is albino blue diamond



    This is albino platinum



    Very good looking albino platinum from chicagodiscus

    any idea about the lineage of platinum?

    are they their own strain?
    are they a cross of the BD and Snow White?

    I believe you are refering to the pupil, while I believe the others were referring to the red eye.
