From memory of my discussion with Matt in Anaheim, he got a litter with 1/4ish of the babies having this obvious color difference. No other visually different babies were produced. IMO from that alone I'd expect the "CRB Ghost" morph is a simple recessive single gene trait. Actually confusing since ghost is commonly used to describe a double homosygous animal with Anery and Hypo recessive traits. IMO, with limited knowledge of CRB's it may actually be a recessive hypo trait similar to hypo in BRB's.





Hypo - Reduction in black

Anery - Lack of red pigment

Albino - Lack of black pigment



Ghost - Hypo + Anery

Snow - Anery + Albino

Sunglow - Hypo + Albino





>>Matt got his ghosts by breeding wild caughts together, so I don't think it's been proven if the babies are in fact double het or not, but theoretically they should be, so het for ghost should be double het for anery/hypo.

>>And I think snow is albino and anery.
