We have already deducted that from the initial findings, but thanks though.

The term "Super" is in fact a genetic term, and Ernie is erroneously using it here to hype things up. That's all I am trying to avoid.

You are right, about some being nicer than others - with more, or less, marbling. In fact, I have one that is all pink, with one single black bar down the middle (vertical) According to Ernie's use of the word "Super" I could say that this fish has the "Oreo" gene.

Yes, of course, I will do some line breeding to see if I can't isolate this unique mutation - who knows!

LOL Ernie - thank you for the entertainment. When you have actual, factual, real proof of any of your allegations, then feel free to share it.

Feel free to start your own thread in the HYBRID section, for your own experiment.

From my "normal" marble X pink, I have some fry that you would call "Supers" - but they are not, of course. Otherwise, there would be supers in every LFS by now.

Bottom line there are codom marbles and dominate marbles, I bet when you bred your marble x pink you got 50% calicos no matter the variation of the calicos you produced.
 
Actually, no. If you read my FACTS about the offspring from my pair, you would know the answer to that.
But, I'll say it again: Only 3 or 4 out of 50, are all pink. The rest are marbles - from very lightly marbled, to what you are calling "super."
Alternatively, my friend who had a pink male X marble female breeding, NO marbled babies were produced, even when back-crossed to the marbled mother.

This is why I'm trying to get all of us to stick to facts, and actual findings, not speculation, and not something we "heard about" or something that we assume, since nobody really understands the genetics yet.

His facts are much more relevant than yours considering he accually has pics to prove his findings.

We're hijacking this thread, and to put it simply ALL the evidence I've seen so far suggests that Ernie is indeed correct, not one person has produced evidence to the contrary. Until that time comes I refuse to listen to someone complaining about he-said-she-said stories and then telling some of his own! Ridiculous!

I'll do an update thread on the fry I raise from my pair. Some blotching will be nice...but I'd love to get some of the heavy marbled ones from the batch (cross my fingers).
 
I'm betting you'll get at least 50% light marbles from the pair in the vid, also betting you'll get 25% heavy marbles, and pink replacing normal in this genetic equation, you'll also get 25% pink.
