I hope this does not start another arguement, but I have to ask a question regarding the pairing of two codominant/incomplete traits such as jungle and hypo-melanistic.

Since it is assumed for the most part and sometimes expected that hypos will throw abberant babies with stripes, and other kinds of abberancies, how do you know which babies are jungles and which babies are only expressing the abberant traits associated with hypos? (ofcourse this really only applies to the salmon jungles because for the normals it would be rather obvious and easy to tell the difference between normals and jungles).

I only ask this question because there have been so many beautiful jungles produced this year using hypos and while looking through the pictures I see many things going on with pattern and color.

Once again not trying to start another dispute, just curious if anyone had thought about this, or had an answer or idea.

Congratulations again on the awesome litters thus far this season.

Bob
