Just curious, I see some pictures of RES with faintly yellow tinted fins, some without, is the yellow tint indicitive of "other" genetics or just RES genetic variation? Diet? Sex?

I have also noticed some variation in BG fin tinting as well, some with very clear fins and others with very light opaque fins that are lightly tinted blue. Is this just genetic variation?

Here are some pictures from my pellet trainning project, notice the faintly yellow tinted fins? To my knowledge there are no other types of sunfish in my pond.
