The Coral is an animal that Pete Kahl worked with...That produced young where some of the babies would exhibit a strong red flush (AS THEY MATURE)!!! That is the key to understand a Coral...They are not Born that way!!!

Argentines are very pink when babies!!! So naturally they would express the strong pink colors in albinos when they are babies!!! But then when Argentines mature they LOOSE the pink colors!!!! What do you think happens to the adult Argentine crosses? Yes they LOOSE the reds as well!

Buyer beware!

Corals work like a Pastel Gene...only being distributed at birth to some of the babies....Problem is you do not know which ones...so really they should only be sold as possible Corals in My opinion.....

They will get more red as they mature and by 2 or 3 years of age should have a red head...and red flush through sides although I think most would agree the red head is the key...

This is why Corals are big demand...they are not easily found and produced...
Find a huge albino with the Coral features...Nobody wants to sell!

Unless you want to produce Argentines...watch what you buy!


My 2 cents!!!
