A new enhancer gene "the Blush"
Its a bit of a long story i brought a bhb chocolate a long time ago. I hatch a very bright pastel from her which i kept back and bred back to her and produced this

Sadly he died. Then i bred the pastel to his sister and produce 2 pastel and 1 normal and 2 that had a slightly differnt look to a normal with a cleanish belly.

I also bred the mum to a goblin and produced some very nice goblins.I nick named the gene blush as it adds blushing and brightness to morphs. I have managed to seperate the gene from normals. I have a few blush females growing on. I am pretty sure mum is not a chocolate now and i have never produced a male blush only male morph blush which i think is odd. I have done several breedings with blush pastel x blush and the only thing different was the strange pastel so i think its dom. I think it will clean and brighten any morph.

I usually get 1 or 2 normals or morph normals out of a clutch if that makes sense to you.
