Hi All, trying to name all the geneticaly proven BCI pattern morph out there. This is what I came up with off the top of my head:

Jungle
Super Jungle
Arabesque
Motley
Leopard
Pearlescent
Stripe

Please post if I missed any. Thank you, Lee

i belive theres a proven circleback/laddertail line of BCIs

laddertails RULE

"Harlequin" boas to your list,the pattern anomolies are firmly proven genetic,over the past 6 yrs.(though the full expression of the trait encompasses both pattern & color in one.)...I honestly think Jungle should be one catagory,with "Super" being the homozygous,and,"Jungle" being the heterozygous form,exactly like the Salmon trait...also Jim Hopkins has a co-dom. form of striping,but,I would list striping as one heading,then break it down into sub-catagories of genetic transmission:"recessive"or"dominant",then within those two main groups there should,(or,could?) be "dorsal striped","lateral striped",and,"dorsal-lateral striped" (this would encompass the "reverse striped" lines,and,technically the Square-tails,and,Arabesques would fit this catagory,the Motleys would be both dorsal & lateral(?) )the reverse striped animals could also be called dorsally patternless,I guess...? hope this helps,rather than hinders your efforts! *lol*

i meant to include the harleys to... i was sitting here thinking that for sure there were more, just couldnt come up with them.

also, tiger would be a pattern morph as well... there are calicos here and there, not sure if that would count. also the pearl...

I was just using them as an excuse to add my 2 cents to the list thing *lol*,I don't think Jungle,and,Super Jungle should be 2 different entries though...now that I think about it,the Salmon/hypo should probably be added...it certainly tends to affect the pattern,although it's often thought of as more of a color mutation...heh,guess I'm up to 4 cents now
