: : : 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 <i'm not ready to start mixing palettes yet>, 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.

: : Meridian

: I did some research into the tail pattern (spots) and am fairly convinced that there is a separate gene that controls that. I think that there are several genes:

: Tail color red (also dorsal fin)
: Tail color yellow (")
: Tail color blue (")
: Tail pattern
: 3 Peduncle color genes (red, yellow and blue)
: Body color (i.e. plain or tux)
: Body pattern (i.e. cobra or not)

: There may even be some for PCV as I have seen some corrolation between parents and fry.
