Sean the hypo FL kings often still had black, especially around the head/neck area. It was mostly gone with more selective breeding over the years. Similarly, we would look for clear bellies and keep those back...it seemed to be a marker of sorts for the better looking (lighter, more hypo) adults that would then produce even better babies.



one thing that is worth mentioning, I think, although I'm not sure where it comes into play here, is that some getula are much more predisposed to overall lightening as they mature...I'd say a FL king will lighten up whereas a Cal would not.....and just what are we seeing? The color is expressed in layers over the cell too, isn't it? If so, maybe there's certain levels that are being expressed/depressed via these genetic traits such as hypomelanism, etc.?
