No disrespect meant towards Ryan's reply,but,the "Salmon/hypo/Orangetail" trait has proven,over multiple generations to be "simple dominant" in its hereditary nature. Of all the genetic mutations we currently work with,it is the easiest & most straightforward to understand...even though breeding a het. albino produces the SAME 50/50 split when bred to a "normal",we don't call these hets "co-dominant". we know that the trait itself is "recessive",and,we correctly say so...I'm not sure why so many people have such a hard time accepting "hypos" as "dominant"...but,that's what it is,plain & simple...no need for confusion,don't need to be a scientist,or,geneticist to comprehend it...but,you DO have to clear your head of all the misinformation floating around. most of us are just hobbyists,but,this stuff isn't rocket science,it's just simple application of common sense,available evidence & very basic genetic theory,combine the three & have some fun!
