He IS a really nicely colored baby, no doubt about it.
I don't think he's anything enchi, truthfully that banding doesn't always mean enchi. About the blueish eyes, I have discovered it is not uncommon for very young balls to have blueish eyes. I had several mojave and normal hatchlings that had it.
He looks nearly identical to a normal I one had from a pet store. { I know, I know } His banded and reduced pattern make him worth a shot at breeding, just to see if he passes it on.
You know looking at his belly pics, he even has the "het pied" tracks there for just a bit. Sometimes we want our guys to be something special so badly. I had high hopes for a baby I hatched. She was really light and had a faded head and some nice blushing. She was from a vanilla pairing, and I really wanted her to be a vanilla. But sadly, she never changed enough for me to say she's anything but a super nice normal. It sucked because I want a vanilla female so bad.
Your little guy is very nice. The longer you look at him, the more traits you can pick out. His belly flames, banded pattern, some blushing, and that lovely peachy color on his sides that I've seen over and over again, that sadly never lasts past about 300 grams. I could see me dinking around with him, just because he really is a cool baby.
