If anyone has pics of an enchi next to a normal, that would be helpful too. Tx

Here's a couple of pics of our '07 male when we first got him. Obviously they aren't the best pics and he had a bit of an attitude, which didn't help. These pics are several months old and he's a good bit larger now. I'll try to get some current pics ASAP along with some pics of our female Enchi.

The color really shows well in this pic. Thank you.

You know that vibrant peachy yellow under tone that a lot of baby balls are born with - that is the color the Enchi reminds me of. I believe they have a bi-colored eye as well(?).

Sweet! Tx for posting.

What are you pairing them with?

Ghireptiles Mar 26, 2008 09:27 PM

I have a small collection so if they get paired with a normal I am lucky!
