Based on the fact that NONE of us have produced a visual Super Stripe when a Super Stripe is bred to a non YB or non Whirlwind/Specter it is 95% safe to say at this point that Yb and Whirlwind/Specter are in fact alleles of each other.. That would mean that unless a "cross over" occurs there is no way a Super Stripe Ivory is even possible to create. That would be like saying you made a Super Mystic Mojave , you can make a Super Mystic or a Potion BUT you CAN'T make a Super Mystic Mojave . Just like you can't make a Super Mojave Lesser, either it's a Super Mojo , a Super Lesser or a Lesser Mojave , no such thing as a Super Mojave Lesser however , isn't possible from what I understand. When your talking alleles (2 versions/variations of a "like" gene) then some things are not possible to make.. I myself have 2 very strange Paradox Ivories and I do think they can have another non Yb/Whirlwind gene showing, BUT if there is a genetic gene there (some won't end up genetic but I do think some will prove out to be carrying another gene) the gene it has is NOT a Whirlwind /Specter gene that you are seeing at all. If it was in fact a type of Super Stripe it could only have 1 copy of Yb NOT 2 as the Ivories do and the other copy would have to be Whirlwind/Specter . Really is pretty simple if you think about it.
