I have no reason to disbelieve he is a het pied but can not guarantee it since I did not produce him. He is really orange and looks like many enchis I have seen and looks better than several I have seen for sale lately. However, I bought him as a het pied dinker as part of a package steal (I mean deal) and have not bred him so this is all speculation. The problem with enchis is that they can be a subtle morph. It could be enchi or just really cool normal right? Pair an enchi with a lesser and it becomes obvious though. The het pied is easier to prove but I have no pied female. Paired with a het and a miss could be the fault of either het so no guarantees there. I do plan on obtaining a female pied in the next year BUT she will be grown and used exclusively for producing hets for my big project plans her first and perhaps subsequent seasons so no chance for this guy to touch her. As a pied producer he is worthless to me. The only reason I keep him is the cool pattern. I would like a female enchi in my collection some day
