Unless you're referring to the tiger morph of coastal carpets. I don't know if there is a "super" form of this morph, though. You could breed a tiger coastal with an IJ, but they wouldn't be tiger IJs. They would be tiger mutts. While some mutts are pretty, overall they're much less desirable than pure subspecies.

I was under the impression for a while that there was a codominant striping gene in jungle carpets. I could be wrong and at any rate I haven't seen any for sale for a long time.
(Codoms are the only genes that have a regular (heterozygous) and a super (homozygous) type).

This only dorsal at this time, and will be years in progress.
Working with a male that has a 80% stripe and and 2 70% stripe
unrelated females. We have held back some beatiful ones that have 90%
plus dorsal striping. from this group and will be breeding back to my male by next year
or the year after. I have also seen a few very striped ones posted before.
