Terry,quickly and simply I was just trying to prod others to open the morph discussion.Although it was aimed at what I still think to be a "lavender albino"/"extreme hypo"....I also tried to incorperate the obvious(to me anyways,lol)discrepancies in the nomenclature.That is NOT to say that any "marketing name"cant or shouldnt stick,just that I think it appropriate that we THINK these genes being "even".Further,I think it may be about time that we can get some MEANINGFUL numbers out of the ratios that occur:#1 the ratio of a morph occuring within any captive collection....and comparing that with the ratio of ADDITIONAL morphs popping up within morph lines.From these numbers we can see exactly how closely related a single species is in captivity(accounting for wc's as well)almost to a predictable point.I better post quickly before I get kicked off again,please follow,but understand the context.Thanks,Jeff
