I bought the parents from Rich Z just before he shut everything down. The Female was sold as Amel motley het caramel and lavender, and the male was sold as an Ultra???. Rich said he wasn't sure. I was thrilled when they arrived and the male turned out to be a gorgeous motley. from the results of the clutch it appears he is actually an ultramel, as well as het for caramel or lavender or both? Are those that look like butters actually gold dusts? WHat about the red eyes? how will I distinguish amels from utramels (butters from gold dusts) if they all have red eyes? Is there an opal?

Male: Ultramel, Motley het Caramel, Lavender

Female: Amel, Motley het Caramel, Lavender

Phenotype:

9 / 32 Ultramel, Motley 66% poss het. Lavender, Caramel
9 / 32 Amel, Motley 66% poss het. Lavender, Caramel
3 / 32 Gold Dust, Motley ( Ultramel, Caramel, Motley ) 66% poss het. Lavender
3 / 32 Opal, Motley ( Amel, Lavender, Motley ) 66% poss het. Caramel
3 / 32 Butter, Motley ( Amel, Caramel, Motley ) 66% poss het. Lavender
3 / 32 Ultramel Lavender, Motley ( Ultramel, Lavender, Motley ) 66% poss het. Caramel
1 / 32 Gold Dust, Lavender, Motley ( Ultramel, Caramel, Lavender, Motley )

Gold Dust Lavender???? and what the heck is a butter lavender supposed to look like? I have to end this for now before I give myself a migraine!

All I know is that's an amazingly varied pile of babies. I see AT LEAST 6 different types. Nope, now that I look at the oddballs I think there are 8. Wow! Great pictures, and good luck sorting amel & ultramel!
