Study up on sperm retention.

Will do. I have heard of it before. Just haven't done any research yet. Didn't think I would need to.

She retained sperm from the Sunglow father last year and used it again this year.

Which, you cannot prove a dual sired litter at this point or even Corals unless you keep back all visuals for six months or so because of it.

Unless the father last year was a Coral as well.

Albinos can be born super pink and colorful and it fades within a few months but the Coral trait begins to truly manifest within six months to a year.

Not exactly what I wanted. Can she also use the male's sperm from this year if he copulated with her. I know he had her tail wrapped up pretty good a couple of times.
There are a couple killer pink albinos (corals?) in the litter. I'm hoping they are his. I need a couple for future breedings.

Are you sure the killer pink albinos aren't sunglows? Also, it would be very rare for what you asked about to happen. Sperm retention is pretty rare as it is. Twice would be extremely rare.

The father was coraled out by 4 months old. But I do get your point. I just might have to hold back the best in the litter and see what happens.

Boy this bites. But,I love sunglows too.

So she can't use last seasons sperm and some of this seasons sperm?

She could, technically, but it would be more rare than regular sperm retention. Also, I saw enough sunglows and hypos where that is very unlikely.

Yes,the high pinks are circle back ladder tail. At least 3 of them.

Now last seasons male was sold to me as a lipstick coral line sunglow. Never got a coral from him,but have gotten lipstick looking ones.
