Lavender or Anery Lavender?

[Kevin S.]

I don't have one, but I'm just curious-how do you guys distinguish between anery lav and lav corns? I'd be curious to know if the same holds true for charcoal lavs as well. Pics would be great if anyone has some. Thanks.

Moonstones are a cooler color, lavenders are a warmer color.

Here's an old pic from a clutch with both.

Thanks for the examples, both of you. So basically anery lavs look similar to ghosts I guess? I thought the extra coloration of lavenders might still be visible in the presence of anery a, but it looks like that's not the case. I wonder if the same holds true for charcoal? I was curious because I'm getting an adult charcoal lavender motley het for anery a (or possibly homozygous for anery as well) and may be doing some test breeding to figure out his exact genetic makeup.

Donovan do you knoow if the males and females of both the lavenders and "moonstones" (anery lavs) colored up any different from each other?

Charcoal lavenders look somewhere between charcoal and lavender. Motley may lighten them up somewhat.

I've heard of sexual dimorphism in lavenders, but I've never really noticed in mine.

Some things that are worth taking into consideration when comparing photos of morphs online is the affect that various cameras, the lighting, monitor calibration, and even different web browsers can drastically alter how the colors look.
