Interesting. Almost look like blushing angels homozygous for the stripeless allele.

They are interesting but I think I prefer the normal ones.

thanks friends, so normal is the most beautiful red head, but these "others" like me. I had several pieces of fry with black eyes. So I was curious how they look when they are adults .. :D

I had a beautiful female that carried a lot of gold coloration. Unfortunately, I just "lost" her. Here's a pic.
