after the amel sheds, see if it has belly checkers... if not its a motley... its definitely a motley look alike but the lack of belly checkers after the shed will prove it

Since you said that i went and checked the undersides of the babies and the only one that really stuck me as different was one of the anerys he had alot less black checkering on his stomach,

I dont have much experience with morphs so i am not really sure if he is motley or not

I see 5 normals and 1 amel in the pic. Ken

I can see how they look like normals but in person two of them lack the orange dots the normals have.

Also what do okeetee babies look like? I just ask cause the mother is Okeetee and i am not sure how to tell them apart from normals

In the pic you posted above there are definitely 5 normals and 1 amel. No doubt about it. Maybe you are thinking of another pic? Ken

I have a hard time believing those are pure corn.

STEVES_KIKI Jul 11, 2008 04:08 PM

they look like pure corns, they just havent shed yet... You can tell b/c they are a milky color. they probably just hatched and will get more colorful after they shed. But they all look normal to me other than the amel.
