Call me old fashioned but I'm not sure I understand the genetics behind all of this. Until recently I thought all hypomelanism was a recessive traight, but now I am seeing ads for possible dominants?!?!?!? "Salmons" are said to be co-donminant and the offspring of a salmon x salmon are super salmons which I see labeled as possibly dominant. I think the idea of two co-dominant traits working out in the punnet square like a heterozygous trait creating homozygous dominant individuals is a load of crap. I have bred arabesques to arabesques and still gotten 50-50 ratios, give or take a few.

Oh, and if anyone has a co-dominant hypo ad female or knows someone who does let me know. Hypo arabesques?? sounds yummy
