Maybe someone will breed one with a normal then back to prove out if it's actually a recessive trait. I'm sure someone probably has but to find the person will be difficult unless they come to us. If there are alot of them out there with highly reduced red colors it may actually be technically Hypoerythristic just like the anery hondourans which are technically Hypoerythristic but whoever produced them decided that Anery is much easier to say haha. So it is possible this is more of a reduction (Hypo) rather than a total elimination of (An). Both normally being a recessive gene I'm very curious now as of if it is. Beings this is common in the wild maybe it's actually a codom gene? Maybe someone should post this question in the genetics forums??????
