    Yeah, those are the markers. They're not the strongest I've ever seen, but they're not the weakest, either. What rabernet said, though--my het for albino also has het pied markers, and I'm pretty darned sure they didn't mess up and accidentally give me a double het.

    Pretty color, too!

    So for perspective, I have normals that are totally normal with some of the same markers as my 100% het pied. Unless you prove it out it's a normals.

    em... sorry, can I know how to different its markers? the het pied markers? How to different it?
    So, from wat has mean is this BP is still a unknow unless prove it thru breeding. Is tat true? Sorry if there any mistake coz I'm still new here with those BP. :)

    ??? I don't see any het pied markers at all in that pictures. Het pied markers are straight black lines down the tail on either side. Not broken up like in that picture.

    Welcome Ken :welcome:

    She looks like a very gorgeous normal. We have to remember that normals come in a variety of different colors, and patterns. Some are really light, and others are really dark. There are no two alike :)

    Good luck with her!

    Buy it as a normal, its a normal until proven otherwise

    You can't differentiate. Markers are not accurate. It's like a gamble. There are some traits that certain recessives share. But by no means am I going to go buy a bunch of normals that look like they have markers and breed a pied to them and expect to get all visual pieds. You can however get a visual recessive and make 100%hets and then breed back when the babies are breedable.

    What I'm saying I guess is have fun dink around, I don't see any specific markers on that one. But you never know. If not you have a beautiful normal.

    There should be a sticky that can assure people that their BP is a normal. :rofl:

    The reason is breeders have found normal looking balls to produce spectacular morphs. Like the spotnose, chocolate etc. They to the untrained eye look normal. Yet they are something different. So now some people are trying to find the spotnoses, ybs, chocolates etc in Petstores and saying it looks different so it has to be a morph. When in all reality even normals look different. Each and every single one. No offense meant to the ops question.
    Theres been alot of the what morph is it questions and it = Normal.
