The one you refer to are selctively bred, BUT that is not all there is to it. Yes his are selctively bred for color enhancement, they are belived to be genetically different than a typical ghost. Much like the post above (Don's quotes) and the post below, there seems to be something drawing out the reds in the animals that cause the color difference. It also seems to be a dominate trait. Strawberry is belived to be the gene.

There are a few lines of coral ghost that are markedly different in appearance. I think that is all correct, just a recitation of what Don said I guess. I can tell you I am happy with my Strawberries and coral ghost and can't wait until they breed next year.
