I completely blanked on squaretails in my other reply. Squaretail is a Recessive trait though.
I'm probably not understanding your question again.
A low expression Jungle is still the Heterozygous version of the Jungle.
Just because we are unable to identify the expression of the trait,doesn't change the fact that it still has a Mutant Jungle Gene and a Wild type gene.
In spite of the right and wrong definitions. In our hobby "Het For" usually only is applied to a Recessive mutation. This recessive mutation Looks Wild Type but contains the Recessive mutant gene and a wild gene. Thus it is "Het For"
A Squaretail can be "Het For" Squaretail but not show the trait.
With a Jungle a low expression Jungle would still be Heterozygous.
I wouldn't call it "Het For" Jungle because you can't identify it as a Jungle therefore it becomes a Possible or Probable Jungle.Depending on how sure the producer of it is that certain trait defining characteristics are visible.
Hopefully this makes sense to you or gets to the point of your question.
