Re: Crazy Looking Het Clown Female,
Years ago someone posted a pic of a clownish het clown on the VPI Breeders Bragging Post site and Tracy Barker replied something to the effect that some het clowns look clown like. I don't think it’s nearly as common as het pieds with the pied belly but apparently several "recessive" morphs have sporadic co-dominant tendencies.
Re: Crazy Looking Het Clown Female,
I know what you mean Randy :D I think they look awesome when they show their het :D Its a shame not all look like this though would be absolutely awesome! I will have to get more photos of my girl I think along with the male :D

Re: Crazy Looking Het Clown Female,
Thanks Stephanie :D I think if there is anything different with her then it's the granite speckling ( the male shows similar traits ) If I get lucky and they prove to be genetic granites I'll be happy but either way I'm proud to have this girl in my collection :D

Or it could be that some "recessives" are very subtle co-doms, so subtle that we don't perceive the heterozygous expression unless it's an exceptional individual.
Re: Crazy Looking Het Clown Female,
I know what your saying here :) I have often thought about it and the wife said the same how do we know that recessives aren't actually co-doms and the visual form is a super form, With the 'Hets' being virtually normal but with slight differences. You see it with alot of different recessives and people say they are 'Markers'.
