The albino isn't an actual albino by the looks of the photo.

If it were me I'd pair her with another solid coloured fish; in this case the blue diamond. this will yield a mixture of uniform colours with some white diamonds in the mix. Crossing with the snakeskin could lead to poor barring and patterns and I don't see any benefit crossing with the brown.

Absolutely agree. The blue diamond is the way to go.

Albino's have a red iris. From the photo, your fish appears to have a black iris.
