something.



Salmons are often refered to as salmon "phase" hypos.



Coral albinos are also often refered to as coral "phase" albinos.



See the correlation?



How were salmons derived?



A litter of F1's were produced and ended up in some state, i forgot which one (F1's always have the most genetic variation). One of the F1's founded the salmon line while another founded the Gee-line.



Can we make a hypo from a Gee-line that looks very close, indistinguishable from a salmon? Yes. Does that make it a salmon? No.



How were corals derived?



A litter of F1's were produced from one of Petes original two male albinos that were bred to several normal females. Out of one of the many F1's produced, which have the most genetic variation, came the coral line.



Can we make an albino from one of the other F1 bloodlines that closely resembles a coral? Yes. Does that make it a coral? No.
