Sorry -- I didn't mean to make you defensive about this, and I believe that you have labeled them correctly. You certainly are not responsible for other peoples labeling systems either.
I do believe that the Albino strains should've been bred together in order to find out that they're not compatable -- but now we know, and I don't think that it should be re-done.
I didn't quite follow your Hypo/Hog example as pertaining to this.
I guess that I look at breedings as having positive, and negative affects in the market, and knowledge in general - and to me keeping things as clear as possible is a positive thing. To me , this type of breeding potentially has more negatives than positives , and here's why --
-- Jungles are a genetic mutation (Co-dom), as opposed to (polygenic)line bred abberrancies such as Harlequins, Aby's and (imo)Cyclones. To me, it would make sense and be fine to breed Harlequins to Abys, or other type of polygenic lines because they can all be labeled as Aby Harlys, (or whatever the lines are). But when mixing with a Jungle, now we're dealing with a genetics that can't be separated visually with any certainty . But since they (both) resemble Jungle traits so much, it will be easy for newbies, or people less interested in the knowledge of the genetics, to potentially foul up other peoples breeding plans by selling potentially false Jungles.
-- To make things even more questionable, is that you used a possible Jungle instead of a known Jungle. Now you still don't know what the father is, or the babies are. So nothing has been learned as I see it, just many more questions.
-- Point #3 , A possible Jungle was bred to a Harly last year, with the same type of outcome as yours - not learning anything from the breeding , with the exception (in my opinion) that we shouldn't repeat this type breeding.
The very best outcome in my opinion would be for you to breed your possible Jungle to a normal and hope that he's not a Jungle so that you'd know with certainty what your babies are. If he is a Jungle , then we have a litter of confusion that WILL make more confusion for others in future breedings.
I will again say, that this isn't written in anger, or hostility towards you. Please don't like me any more or less for this, as I appreciate your shared opinions too. Take care, D
