    Help please



    I picked this male up for my wife in a 2 for 1 deal from a local breeder. The breeder said it was a normal ball but I'm not so sure. I've been trying to find pics of balls that look similar to him and the closest I've come to finding one that matches is a Lesser Platinum. Can anyone answer this question for me once and for all please?

    If it's from a breeder who know's a bit I'm sure he wouldn't let a male lesser slip for a normal. Could be just a nice looking normal but good luck you never know.

    Not even close to a lesser, he is indeed a reduced pattern and/or semi banded normal. Nice pattern, nice pickup, congrats Won't know if it's genetic unless you breed him.

    Thank you everyone.

    I appreciate the feedback. Thanks everyone. We intend on breeding him next year. The sick part is we picked him and a normal female up for $10 each.

    To be completely honest, I would buy yourself a morph male or a 2 gene male and make your clutches way more valuable. Remember, you got him from a breeder, if it was anything other that a normal he would have told you or he would be keeping it at his place to try and prove it out. Either way, good luck and nice pick-up.

    Yup, normal and about the right price from a breeder.
