SMR Cayenne Fire and SMR X African Cayenne Fires

Don (SMR) started these Red Factor Fires many years ago. Poppycorn (Marsha Matthews) came up with the name Cayenne to distinguish Fires possessing the additional mutation, Red Mask (aka: Red Factor) from regular Amel Bloodreds (Fires). I was an immediately hooked on these and bought my first pair from Don in 2007. These like corals are terribly hard to photograph and much better looking in person.
In the last couple of years Don obtained hatchling pair of a fire and bloodred het fire from a South African corn breeder who was working with the Javas. Don discovered that this pair was much more as they grew. I was lucky enough to have a female SMR cayenne fire at Don's on breeder loan and he bred her to his male African line Cayenne male last year.
Here is pics of male African/ cayenne with comparative a pic of a female SMR cayenne line that I bred last year. The male has just a little bit extra red than the female SMR girl (I have to say that the female SMR line is going to be top shelf cayenne in her own right).

Wow, that male is on Fire!! :devil01::devil01:

Hence the name I suppose. Thanks for sharing these awesome animals John!
 
I'm sorry, I haven't bought a morph book in quite a while. So, Cayenne Fires are red mask amel bloodreds? Is there any difference in the African line and the SMR line? I saw this morph on SMR and Colorado Corn's websites, and I became fascinated with them!

It's actually (the one in the first pic) when Don (SMR) crossed the fires from the African line to his cayennes that he got the best ones. I'm sorry I should have put that in the original thread that they are Red Factor plus Amel bloodred. It seems that the crossed ones (African X Cayenne Fires) have even more red than the cayennes.
The camera's flash is almost off to take pics of these (and corals) to get a true pic of them.
