Ok, so i love dinkers, the fact each one is unique is an appeal to me plus the idea that one may prove out as genetic keeps it interesting. However, this female is doing my head in to a different level.
Background. Got her 4 years ago as a wc sub adult She stood out a mile from the others as she was so dark and blushes were a deep mahogany. I was and still am sure there is something genetic there. I Grew her up to breeding size and introduced her to a het albino i had. Copulations were seen and repeat introductions also resulted in copulations.
Nothing came of it.
Next year a pastel was introduced to her and like the year before many copulations were observed. Nothing came of it.
This year i started earlier with her cycle and introduced pastel again with her. Lots of copulations, even bowl wrapping, nothing so far coming from it.
With all the talk of certain morphs being "sterile" is it possible that this girl has a gene which is effecting her color but also making her sterile too?
when in shed she is near black, and when sat next to a "normal" there is sooooo much difference ( i have a pic on pc with her next to het albino and will take one of her next to a different normal to compare)
