No way a leucistic(or pink-eyed), and yes, does resemble many pale colored "bubblegums". Also, many have been bred with extremely varied degrees of coloration, such as the very pale, almost undescernable patterned one(like the one in question, to extremely vivid orange/pink variations with bold patterns, to solid pinks/yellows. Also, they have been around for many years since Bill Love first produced them around 1989 or 90.

It is possible however that it can still be a very pale amel that did NOT have much in the way of other underlying pigment(s) to display after the absents of melanin. But most amels have a MUCH more visible blotch pattern.
