Not such a mystery to me, if faders show up in the first generation its co-dom, period. And there is already enough (imho) unrelated anectodal evidence to support that theory. The varying numbers of fader fry being reported is a bit mysterious. But could be attributed to many things, cannibalism, owner gave most of the fry away & doesn't know if they faded etc...use your imagination.
Whatever actual percentage shows in the first generation is almost irrelevant to me, the fact remains they do indeed show up in the first generation. Nothing but an incomplete dominant gene would do that. Yes, normally with an incomplete dom gene 50% of the fry should express the trait..but perhaps this gene breaks the rules slightly. But then again perhaps not, as you said, hopefully my project will clear things up a bit. I've got a strong feeling I'll see 50/50 fader/normal...
