    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Here's my weight...guess my age!

Based on the pics, I don't see banana.
I would say Lesser/Butter Enchi, or Lesser/Butter pastel. I don't think it has hypo, but I don't deal with hypos personally, so I couldn't say for sure.

I was thinking an enchi lesser too. Hard to tell with some morphs unless you have really good lighting.
 
Clark, looking at the male lesser pinstripe banana/coral glow you have posted on facebook, I can see why you think so. The coloration is spot on. What a lovely boy you have there!

FMI, why is banana/coral glow back slashed? Are these traits the same? Related? Is it an either/or because of his parents' genes? My goal is to get this all down ASAP. Ignorance isn't bliss: it's danged irritating.

It is because, although some believe they are different, Banana & Coral Glow are the same gene (morph).
 
BTW To explain the two different names ...
Two different breeders first had them at around the same time/Era and, individually, came up with two different names.
Edit to add: It was, later, discovered that Banana & Coral Glow were the same thing. Tried and agreed to.
 
It's also debatable that butter and lesser are the same thing. Not sure if there's been any definitive decision but I personally don't see a difference.
 
It's what Pasodama said... they're the same gene.
Butter and Lesser are the same gene. Some might argue, but that's because they like to argue...
There are quite a few out there that are just duplicates of another gene... But whichever. The reason I backslashed it is because it's the same gene.
 
Gotcha. So one could argue that butter is what you have when lesser results in a high yellow animal, rather than a browner version of the lesser gene?

Not exactly. It is more like both versions express a range of coloration that overlaps exactly. Also, both versions react the same with other genes and combos. So, given the evidence is the same in both cases it is safely assumed, barring genetic testing or some disparate as yet unseen results, that lesser and butter are the same gene given 2 different names by 2 different companies that each wanted the right to name something new.
 
Ah! Like ghost and hypo, banana and coral glow. What other morphs do you know of that have different names?
