What strain?

I've been calling these gold pearl scales but I think that since the orange part is only is limited to the dorsal area of the fish I'm thinking that they're called something else.

....could be a Sunset    g/g S/S.....fins are clear except the dorsal...

I wish I could figure out which pair they came from.  They were born back when I was cranking out fish for the wholesaler and consolidating spawns from different parents into better size tanks.  At the time it seemed that I was doing the logical thing wfwf  I have a bunch of platinum ps's too as well as a bunch of the ghost and silver types.

I don't guess they're anything special, are they?  Being gg/SS my guess is that they would breed true.  What might happen if I were to cross to a blue blusher (not ps) or a gold blusher (also not ps). 

These fish all come from the group of wifi blue marbles you suggest I look at on Aquabid.  Breeding them sib to sib and mother to son and aunt to nephew has taken me an a fun adventure that I never expected.

..if the blue blusher +/+ S/S happens to carry a gold(likely)....you'll get more of the same...
