Just thought I'd post a pic of my juvie male "wipeout" BRB. Does anyone else think this is a co-dominant trait with single allele animals showing the "mixed up" pattern and double allele ('super') animals showing the extreme striping? That what I think is going on but I'm open to other suggestions!

>>Nice-looking animal! I suspect not enough testing has been done to verify that theory, however. How many of the "extreme" animals are out there right now?

You're definitely right - not enough has been done with this trait to confirm anything at present. Hopefully that'll change soon!

Nice looking animal!

Do I think it's co-dom? Nope, absolutely not....incomplete dominate though possibly.

With only a couple of litters (if I understand correctly) every having been produced from just one pair, there's really no way to know for sure until more of them are up and breeding to see what the results are.

I do think it's a really awesome morph that looks much better in person than in pictures and will be a lot of fun to mix up with some of the other morphs out there.
