    This little guy has me wondering
    My male dinker is throwing me for a loop. I was trying to come up with what is going on with him, but I have no clue.
    To me he has an enchi appearance, his side colors are extremely peachish/ orangish. He has a nice banded thing going on, and has blue eyes.... I haven't been in this hobby long enough to know the subtle signs of something. He has a sweet honey brown head spot I couldn't really get on camera, and weird perfect spot blushing on his back. Let me know if anyone sees anything I am not.

    The pictures aren't the best, it's overcast out but are taken from my iPhone. I know he's not normal, there is something here..... But I'm open to all suggestions.

    It looks like one of my normals.

    It is a very colorful animal, but it looks like a normal. You would be amazed at the many color variations that are found in normals. When you see an Enchi up close sometime, you will understand the dramtatic difference.

    I went from table to table at the last 2 expos looking at enchis. It amazes me how much he resembles an enchi. From the coloring, to the banding crossing over his back. I really feel there is something here. I wish I had a new lens for my canon so I couldn't take a better photo.
    What about the pastel-like blue eyes? Is that a trait carried by normals?

    I have seen many normals, and he stands out without a doubt. In person there is no mistaking that he's different.
    Maybe I haven't seen normals that don't look normal, but compared to the hundreds of normals I've seen for sale, he's special.

    Pair him to an enchi or yb and see what pops out ;)

    I'm just seeing a banded normal personally, but if you like him hang onto him. I have a "dinker" male that reminds me of a Mojo and I have plans to pair him to a Mojo girl to see what comes from the pairing.

    That's the goal, my next buy will probably be a female lesser. Than it's yb and enchi girls.
    What's up with the blue eyes? I know they are a pastel trait. They look identical to my lemon pastel's eyes. I'm wondering if the blue eyes are just a recessive trait shared among all balls, or more specific to a certain morphs.

    Green eyes are actual more of a known pastel trait to my knowledge. A pastel doesnt have to have green eyes to be a pastel though.

    Do you have any closeup shots of the eyes? When you say blue im picturing BEL blue eyes.

    Well more of an aqua blue. I just went and compared eyes between my pastel and this guy. The pastel's eyes are a little more green, and these are a tad more blue.
    It was hard to get a good picture, and using my iPhone doesn't help. I'm in the process of getting another lens for my canon.
