combine and anery animal with a hypo animal. Anery's are black and grey and the hypo gene serves to reduce the amount of black pigment giving it the ghost look. Another cool example of this is the charcoal corn (anery B) crossed with hypo. This produces the phantom corn. These guys have really cool looking eyes!!

If I were to breed a crimson to an anery A,I would get ghosts?? Thanks, Jeff

>>If I were to breed a crimson to an anery A,I would get ghosts?? Thanks, Jeff

No,
a crimson to an anery would give you normals het anery het hypo
Those babies bred together could give you normals, anerys, hypos and ghosts.

by now you know ghosts are anery a and hypo.
Basically an anery with the blacks muted, leaving an almost ghost-like or even "negative" look
a couple ghost shots

Thanks everyone!,For your fast response & pics regarding ghost corns.I got the one I mentioned earlier & guess what?, She has mites.When I went to the pet shop to get her,they were very busy cleaning cages because they had seen mites in other cages but,not the corns. Jeff
