The other 2 have some BCC influence. What percentage I can't say, but it's there. You won't see peaks on the saddles like that without BCC influence. However they are not full BCCs - or at least one isn't since it is apparently het albino. There are no morphs in BCCs unless they are crossed with BCIs.
To be clear, what you have here are not morphs. They are sub-species. You could say that the one that is het albino is het for a morph, but that's it.
Again, they are nice. Incidentally, being part BCC, the female is apt to get fairly large..... LoL!
The second one is pretty creamy pink in person to and the third is the male and the first is the other female is there any way to determine which may be het albino how big are we talking on the BCC influence compared to normal I will get better pictures up by next weekend what background would be best

What angels and parts would make it easier to narrow them and against what color background

I do not have a light tent but I can get plenty of pictures indoors and out doors if it helps

His normal male BCI

Peaches, my own female hypo BCI

The BCC pic was taken outside so her colors glow, but note the peaks in the saddle pattern and her blood-red tail. Note the brownish coloration of the normal's tail and the significant speckling in his body coloration. Note how Peaches is very bright pink and there is a notable lack of black pigmentation - there is no speckling and no black bordering around her tail pattern.
Thank you for the comparison
