Otherwise I do agree. A solid white belly is far more indicative of a normal stripe, as is Aurora's overall coloration. Unfortunately, use of "bloodred" as a synonym for diffused has led to a lot of confusion. True selectively bred bloodreds are remarkably red in color. Considering the clarity of her stripes, I do not believe she is diffused.
Also to answer the actual question, if it's a reptile tank large enough to consider for a cichlid tank, I would not trust it to hold water at all.
