    This little guy has me wondering

    My male dinker is throwing me for a loop. I was trying to come up with what is going on with him, but I have no clue.
    To me he has an enchi appearance, his side colors are extremely peachish/ orangish. He has a nice banded thing going on, and has blue eyes.... I haven't been in this hobby long enough to know the subtle signs of something. He has a sweet honey brown head spot I couldn't really get on camera, and weird perfect spot blushing on his back. Let me know if anyone sees anything I am not.




    The pictures aren't the best, it's overcast out but are taken from my iPhone. I know he's not normal, there is something here..... But I'm open to all suggestions.

    It is a very colorful animal, but it looks like a normal. You would be amazed at the many color variations that are found in normals. When you see an Enchi up close sometime, you will understand the dramtatic difference.

    I went from table to table at the last 2 expos looking at enchis. It amazes me how much he resembles an enchi. From the coloring, to the banding crossing over his back. I really feel there is something here. I wish I had a new lens for my canon so I couldn't take a better photo.
    What about the pastel-like blue eyes? Is that a trait carried by normals?

    I have seen many normals, and he stands out without a doubt. In person there is no mistaking that he's different.
    Maybe I haven't seen normals that don't look normal, but compared to the hundreds of normals I've seen for sale, he's special.

    I'm just seeing a banded normal personally, but if you like him hang onto him. I have a "dinker" male that reminds me of a Mojo and I have plans to pair him to a Mojo girl to see what comes from the pairing.

    That's the goal, my next buy will probably be a female lesser. Than it's yb and enchi girls.
    What's up with the blue eyes? I know they are a pastel trait. They look identical to my lemon pastel's eyes. I'm wondering if the blue eyes are just a recessive trait shared among all balls, or more specific to a certain morphs.

    Green eyes are actual more of a known pastel trait to my knowledge. A pastel doesnt have to have green eyes to be a pastel though.

    Do you have any closeup shots of the eyes? When you say blue im picturing BEL blue eyes.

    Well more of an aqua blue. I just went and compared eyes between my pastel and this guy. The pastel's eyes are a little more green, and these are a tad more blue.
    It was hard to get a good picture, and using my iPhone doesn't help. I'm in the process of getting another lens for my canon.
