Amels have no black at all, hypos have reduced black. General rule: 'A' means completely absent, hypo means reduced and melanin is the pigment that produces the black colouration in corns. There are pics in the photo gallery of both (heaps of amels!) so check there. HTH,

Some hypos have hardly any black. The quickest way to tell the difference is in the eyes. Hypos have black eyes while albinos have red eyes. I personly am a big fan of the hypo but that doesn't help you tell the difference. Like in people, you can tell alot by their eyes.
