>To get a triple het you must breed a Ghost x Albino.



To get a triple het, you must breed two individuals that have three different mutant genes between them. Make a list of all the known mutant genes and pick out three. A ghost x albino mating is only one of the many possibilities. A heterozygous albino, heterozygous anerythristic (AKA het snow) x arabesque mating could produce triple hets, too.



>Does the Ghost have to be a Super?



No.



or will a Co-dom Ghost still produce Triples?



Yes, but not all would be triples.



What else is produced by a Co-dom Ghost x Albino other then Triples? 100% Dbl Het Snow? 100% Dbl Het Sunglow?



Results of this mating:

1/2 salmon, heterozygous albino, heterozygous anerythristic (not sure what others would call this. Possibly hypo, double het snow.) triple heterozygous)

1/2 heterozygous albino, heterozygous anerythristic (AKA double het snow)



There would be no double het sunglows because all the babies must be heterozygous anerythristic, too.
