Originally Ralph thought that his Phantom was the same as a Mojave and I think maybe even Dan and Collette agreed for a little bit before indicating that they thought it was different. Now Mojave's have gone up in speculation that there might be a relationship between phantom, mojave, and lesser platy. I've not seen any in person but have seen comparison pics that show some consistency among this group. Maybe the differences in the three lines are due to individual variation or other genes in the lines or maybe they are different mutations but of the same gene.

thanks for the info. Is the phantom gene co-dom? do you know if ralph has a phantom compared to a normal in a picture?
