Bloodred pic.

About 2 months ago while picking up some aspen at my local pet store, I noticed they had this beautiful colored corn at the checkout counter. The tank was marked "Albino Bloodred". I just had to have him. I've been dealing with this store for over 20 years, so I trust them (also got my Butter from them). He eats like a maniac and is growing like a weed. Okay, now for the question. Since I'm fairly new to corns I was wondering if anybody could tell me if this actually is an Amel. Bloodred? I'd like to be positive that it really is what the breeder told the store it was. It has dark red saddles on a rust/orange backround. The flash made it look a little lighter than it is. Also the belly is mostly white with a few flecks of rust/orange.

Thanks for any info....

John

Not a great pic, hopefully it's good enough. The second pic is without the flash.
