: I think I am in agreement with you Greg. Consider this: Three genes instead of two. Each area of the fins (front of tail, back of tail, top fin) have these color genes. It would help explain Clarissa's results.
: WTG CLARISSA! :) (But where the heck did thate *blue* come from? :O)
: NOTE: There two types of RGB schemes: Red, Yellow, and Blue for paints, inks, etc. and Red, Green, and Blue for light, computers, tv sets, etc.
We might also be talking about a separate square for dots on the tails, as well.
I'm not really familiar with guppies yet, and am just starting with my first generation of all the same Yellow Tails , so I don't have any data yet to back up the multi gene effect, but I have to agree after seeing Clarissa's rainbow of colors that there must be something we don't know about.
