Shannon, forget amel. Lav=EXTREME. I suggest that the EXTREME gene came from the HYPO line and that there are EXTREMES, HYPOS and EXTREME HYPOS in many of your "variable" clutches. The further away you get(generations),the more hets are recrossed, the more this will become obvious. I suggest that the EXTREME line is in fact a DUAL GENE line, not a single, and that their similar appearance(see amel to hybino)is confusing breeders. As f3-4-5 generations are recrossed the hets will be lost and the "pure" EXTREME will be more easily noticed. But it will also cause more "unpredictable problems" every time this "gene(s)" is used to create something else.......Not on the pipe, a little wine never hurt nobody,lol.
