There are 3 known recessive traits for hondurans: albino, anerythritic, and hypo. Combining these 3 traits can produce double-recessive morphs, namely: ghost (anery hypo), snow (anery albino) and hybino (hypo albino).

In addition, there are 2 color phases for hondurans, tangerine and tricolor. Thus you can have both a hypo tangerine and hypo tricolor that are very different in appearence. The same goes for tangerine and tricolor albinos.

In addition to the known recessive traits, there are also morphs known as Extreme hypos. These are hypos with light gray (not black) bands. It's currently unknown if this trait is recessive or not. A calico honduran morph exists but has yet to be proven as well.
