| Awww poo...Do you mean they probably won't stay polka dotted? I have kept & raised lots of Albino BNs.....but these are SO darn cute. I was REALLY hoping they would be polka dotted as adults  | |

| They were labeled Calico at the LPS.......do you think they will later look splotchy (I am SURE that is the TECHNICAL term!) later on rather than polka dotted?
I really enjoy the BNs too! Mine (the albinos) have sit up housekeeping in my Dragon Bubbler! I always get amused when the Dad enters the mouth of the Dragon to go into his cave.....t looks like the Dragon is slurping him up!! LOL!
My goldfish keep the population under control but several HAVE made it to adulthood. Right now I have some "teenagers" & occasionally see a tiny one.
I also wonder if the "Calico"...my current polka dotted ones....were to breed with the Albinos what type of babies would result.
