I was just thinking, if you can't find a white sajica cichlid yourself, why not create one yourself?
So, I got the idea of crossing a platinum HRP (to retain the blue and reds in the hybrid) and a sajica cichlid.
The problem here however, is how the genes would cross over. I know the marbled gene in convicts crosses over with hybridization, as I have seen "marbled" HRP x convicts. (one parent was a marbled convict.) I also know the pink gene in convicts is recessive, and when crossed with any pure or wild type fish it would create visual wild type fish carrying the pink gene. Is this the same for the platinum gene in HRP's?
(also woops, I put the wrong tag on this, this has nothing to do with dithers haha)
