Probable HD (homo dominant aka Super)!!

I paired a Miami Tessera x Miami Tessera in 2015, and of my keepers, have been gradually pairing them to see if they're HD (homo dominant aka Super).
Hematite is the 3rd male I've test bred, and it looks like he is!!

I paired him with my LBR Miami female this year, and out of 10 good eggs, 7 have pipped and are hanging out, all of those are Tessera's. There are still three that I'm waiting on.

I say probable because I need to do another pairing to confirm him as HD.
I will pair Hematite with a different female next year (likely an Amel, to see if he is het for Amel) and see if I get all Tessera's again.

I am calling them HD (homo dominant) as opposed to "Super", since there's no known marker that differentiates het Tessera's vs homo Tessera's.
Apparently some people take issue with calling them homo, so I settled on "HD".
