What difference would it make if both parents are hypo dbl hets,
versus one hypo dbl het & an albino?

I understand there will be more albino & sunglow neonates from
the pairing with the albino, but I am curious as to the possible
differences in the coloring of the sunglow babies.

Wouldn't they be more colorful if both parents are hypos?

none what so ever the better colored glows come from better lines that are used in makeing them such as coral/lipstick/pastels etc.

With the double het pairing you would also produce super hypos and super sunglows..........

POSSIBLE SUPER'S. NOT ALL OF THEM WOULD BE A GUARENTEED SUPER.

All about the U!!!!

As already stated, even more of an affect is the specific lines being used - aka other genes in the animals.

DH Sunglow x DH Sunglow will produce the same 4 phenotypes as DH Sunglow x Albino. They key difference being anything not visually Albino in the DH x DH will be pos het Albino while in the Albino x DH they are known het Albino.

The DH x DH pairing WILL produce some Super Hypo's (pos het Albino) and Super Sunglows along with Hypo's (pos het Albino) and Super Sunglows. IN both cases some of the Supers may be a small notch above the non Supers. But for most you won't be able to tell them apart.

IMO the DH x DH pairing is not worth all the possible hets you'd produce.

DH x DH

3/16 Sunglow (pos super)
9/16 Hypo (pos het Albino)
1/16 Albino
3/16 Pos het Albino

Albino x DH (keeping it in 16ths to easily see the difference)
4/16 Sunglow
4/16 DH Sunglow
4/16 Albino
4/16 Het Albino
