Central American project

This is one time I'm deviating a bit from my purist ways. This is going to be a long-term project for me, but I'm planning on breeding this reverse-stripe line into various Colombian morphs. Imagine, if you will, reverse-stripe hypos, albinos, anerys, ghosts, and sunglows. It gives me goosebumps.

	Hypomelanistic Hypomelanistic - a genetic reduction in the dark pigment Melanin.

	Anerythristic A recessive genetic mutation in which the animal is void of red pigment.

	Morph A morph is a color or pattern variation that is proven to be genetic. Common morphs include albino, anerythristic, gentically striped, Hypomelanistic, and many others. Morphs also include combinations of simple traits such as "Sunglow" which is Albino and Hypomelanistic. These traits may be recessive traits, co-dominant traits, dominant traits, or created through selective breeding (ie Pastel).

sorry friend, but you know what i'm gonna say........

My rationale for breeding the reverse-stripe into other morphs is that those morphs themselves are also genetically impure animals. As for breeding these into pure Columbian stock, that's a step that I wouldn't even consider taking.

Actually, there's something that I should clarify even further...

By "genetically impure", I mean that the morphs are non-locality specific BCI, and not integrades. Quite obviously, I would never give a thought to breeding these to anything but BCI.
