"While it is true that these are all Recessive genes to the Wild Caught genotype, they are also Incomplete Dominant when mixed with each other, this is why we are getting a new color phenotype when we pair these traits together. If these genes were truly Recessive, then they would be Recessive to each other as well."

Although its pretty commonly thought that things like albino and anery are incomplete dominant or co-dominant when expressed in the same individual its not really true. These terms specifically refer to alleles at the same locus (or variants of the same gene). That means recessive, dominant, incomplete dominant, and co-dominant only apply to how alleles are expressed when combined with each other, not when combined with other genes.

Best,
Vinny
