Albino or Sunglow?????

I'm sure it will be more obvious once it sheds out, but for now, I just can't tell. What do you think?

Thanks for looking
Rick

I would venture to think it is a sunglow based on the more reduced pattern also note the basic lack of white lines around the tail...here is my girl when she was a little one similar tail pattern...

Thanks! I was sorta leaning that way myself. But that thing sure is crazy pale compared to the other sunglows in the litter that are more obvious. Like night and day different.

Sunglows come in all colors...as you seen the one I posted in the last pic has a bit of coraling going on and now 2 yrs later she has a ton more color...I have a new 07 girl that is very light...but she is still a sunglow

True, but check out the difference...

Coming from the same litter, to me that's a lot of difference. LOL

Hmmm...I can see what you mean lol. Thats is a good amount of variation...they both look very nice!

I still am leaning towards sunglow based on the shape of the saddles...normal albinos would tend to have the more block look to the saddles and the typical uniform looking tail...but hey if you wana get rid of her as an albino let me know ill add another albino to my collection

Yeah, I bet! LOL

I got a pale looking Salmon too. Pretty neat. I may have to hold them both back.

Definitely a Sunglow.

I said sunglow in your previous post and I'm sticking to it, the pattern gives it away no question.
