I believe that animal came from a salmon het sharp which sometimes adds color into the hets. That's why you see people selling normals as salmon littermates. I could be wrong but I don't think Ron M. has incorporated the pastel line into the sharps yet. Though it is a beautiful het sharp, it doesn't really have the overall pinks and reds all throughout the body that I have seen in most of the pastel lines. The kahl strain has been around longer and more people have worked to improve them. That's why you see such diversity and awesome colors in the ones that have been selectively bred. I think their is still tons of room for improvment with the sharp line. Would you disagree with that? I don't think you can really judge an entire strain from one single animal. For those who want to see a great example of the differences between the two strains check out basicallyboas.com. He has a page with the morphs he works with and I think you can really see the difference in the two strains. By the way everyone should check out Dave Lee's site and look at the AMAZING sunglows he has. They are impossible to stop staring at!
