Rice fish varieties

[CT_]

I got some rice fish a while ago as "platinums" and looking at babies now I'm wondering what platinum means.  Some babies are a slightly orangeish pink like you'd see in an albino fish.  others are more white/silvery white.  Should I cull the less white ones?  Did I get a different variety?

 

In general they look closer to pearl galaxy than platinum to me judging on google photos.

 

Here's one with egg on it's face:  I don't have good light and a fast shutter so everything comes out blurry for me.

Here's a Genus list from Wikipedia:

Question is whether you're looking at separate _species_ within this Genus, or separate _color morphs_ of one species (as, for example, German Blue Rams, Electric Blue Rams, Golden Rams are all Mikrogeophagus Ramirezi -- same species, different color morphs)

Yeah I guess I'm looking for what colormorph when I say variety.  I didn't really phrase my question well either.  I'm wondering if medaka are like cherry shrimp where there's 6 names for blue and 20 for red.  Or if I can be fairly sure I have pearl since the photos of pearl look the same.

 

For a reason of mistakes and drastically different parameters and probably other reasons im down to one female and some fry, so I want to find her a new male and get the fry machine going again before the end of summer.

They look more like the Galaxy Pearl variety that I am growing out right now. I have platinums as well, there is a distinct difference in color between the two.

 

Here are a few photos of my platinums.
