Last year I bred two lesser/butters together...

Out of 7 eggs I hatched 7 lessers. Six look similar to the one on the top and the one on the bottom stood out right away. It looked like a ghost but not fully like a ghost. She looks like the Dam to me but sometimes the Dam doesn't look completely like a Lesser to me.

I researched all I could on the daddy gene. I looked at a ton of birthing records. "HE" did produce a platy from a platty x lesser pairing. Clutch 8 of 2004. Don't want to say who if its frowned upon. My first post.

More recent Pic... She is on the right.

I'm not saying anything I have is a platty. I just feel something is going on with the one baby. But... if the Dam is a Platty then its possible the baby could be a platty. Im sure that Im just jumping the gun on this one and its just the variation of the lesser gene. I would appreciate any input on what you think... Sire, Dam and/or babies.

Thanks to everyone here on Fauna! I really enjoy reading everything on here.

Just looks like a lighter Lesser/Butter to me. I produced one like that this year as well (color wise).
