I knew that TSK lead a valiant campaign several years back to change the name of the single mutation from ghost to hypo and I had noticed that hypo had caught on a lot although I still see "ghost" often. But I didn't know that TSK is calling the combo just Ghost. Did they abandon the "True Ghost" name from the start or did they only use "Ghost" with their new web page? I know we talked about true ghost for years before they finally produced one. I agree that the change needs to happen I just didn't think we where there yet.

The color lines of hypo are another point I'm not so sure about. I thought NERD once posted that they started several of the other colors from selectively breeding a "green" line. Now I hear there might be a new green line that isn't compatible. I produced my first gh.. er hypo this year descendent from TSK's extreme hypo on one side and I think Brian Sharp's on the other. I see Brian now advertizes buterscotch/yellow but not sure which line he was breeding when the ancestor of mine was hatched and sold the the guy I bought my first het from. I'd be tempted to just lump them all together as "group 1 compatible" hypos or something like that. Maybe just name the few lines that aren't compatible?

Rich, was the hypo ancestor of your clown hypo from that girl that was sold as a normal ch baby and then came back into the store as a stunning young adult in the summer of 2001? I've always wanted to get some hypo blood from that line some day. Big opportunity lost not trying to find a way to buy her right before NERD started producing hypo combos and they went from a morph no one could tell from normal in the crappy Internet pictures of the day to a must have.
