Thanks for the info, I really want to try and get some wierd patterns. Just curious, can I cross that grayband with a milk as well?

Did you breed the grayband directly to the cal king? Or was the grayband bred to a cross that already had cal king in the mix?

Thanks for the info. Did you have to use tricks or did you just put them together and let them breed? I am interested because splendida and alterna overlap in the wild and I would have thought them to be natural "enemies". I know of a guy who tried to cross a zonata with a Cal King and he said the zonata was just afraid of the Cal King. This guy wasn't into hybrids and didn't try "tricking" them to my knowledge. I would have thought the same would be true with alterna and any getula ssp.
Have you ever heard of any zonata X getula crosses?
