Since my original female ghost was 100% het for albino, there was always the possibility that any of the offspring (double het ghost x hypo) were also het for albino. And some are proving to be by breeding thus being triple hets (ghost, hypo and albino). Now I know for sure that the female Coral Ghost (hypo ghost) last year came from triple het parents (ghost, hypo and albino), so my first thought was that the first Coral Ghost was displaying all three recessive genes at the same time (ghost, hypo and albino), but what were the odds of that? 1 in 64? Here is the clutch picture:





Then when the second Coral Ghost (hypo ghost) hatched out, there were no albinos in the clutch and I just assumed that now the Coral Ghosts were just displaying two recessive genes (ghost & hypo). I guess it is possible that the parents of the second Coral Ghost are also triple hets (ghost, hypo and albino) instead of them being double hets (ghost and hypo). Here is the clutch picture of the second Coral ghost:





Hope this makes sense.
