Default Albino Silver aro question

I am from Canada.
We do not see albino silver aro locally very often.
Our local pet ship brought in a few a few weeks ago. I bought 1.
However, I found her pupils are black. The body color is pinkish which is definitely different than regular silver aro.
I asked the shop. They told me the fish was farm bred in Singapore. They bought them from a wholesaler in the U.S. They also said the pupil will turn when they grow bigger.

I took a few pictures from my IPhone but I am not allowed to post the attachments here.
Any experience hobbyists on this forum can give me some advice?

Thanks in advance!

if you look carefully, it might be dark red, and there might not be enough lighting to see the redness in the eyes, i bought one recently as well

Thanks very much for your advise!
Do you both mean their pupils are dark when there is not enough light?
If I have light on top of the fish, I should be able to see the red pupils?
I have to give it a try. I currently have a 4 feet florescent. The fish is small and swim fast. Very hard to have it stays still under the light.
I may have to net it under water and look at it under light.
