I mean that if ANY animal has ONLY one pigment, (be it red, yellow, blue, green, black, etc.) and it lacks that pigment, then yes, it is "albino". But if it contains two or more, then "albino" simply will not suffice, as you need to use a much more descriptive word to tell WHICH pigment(s) are lacking (amel, anery, snow, etc.).
But when it comes to many different forms of the same recessive mutation, I too don't know what would be more correct.
Example: Hypo A and Charcoal (Hypo B) in P. guttatus. Hypo A and B (and I've heard that there are two more now as well??) are fine, but if you cross two normal looking animals, and get a hypo, will you know which one it is if you don't know its herritage? In THIS case, it seems that common terms may serve better than scientific terms since there are more than one of the same. But I can't say for sure, so could someone with more knowledge on the subject reply?
