Forgotten morphs
I have been reading a few older books recently and have come across a few morphs that I no longer see in the market. I assume that they were proven "uninheritable" but after further consideration I began to wonder how many of these traits are more than just simple recessive. I have not been into the hobby for long and have not yet bred anything so was wondering what the more experienced members thought about this. Also what morphs are you all aware of that have gone by the wayside, especially the ones that may fit into my line if thought?

With all this said i want to add a quick rant about how disappointing it is that trick gets over looked. Very legitimate gene it just needs a better name. Hopefully i'll yes me get a chance to showcase some trick pied stuff down the road.
Well I'm probably not the only one with the opinion that sable ruins more morphs than it compliments, I think its easy to see why it never really took off. Harlequin got renamed to malum and kevins doing some interesting things with it still. I just got a spider malum this year.
It's kinda funny I forgot about the trick, It was the next big thing for a while with a price most couldn't touch, then it just seemed to disappear. Well if there isn't much being done with it, gives you time to make a must have combo with it and reignite some excitement.

Thanks for the impute owal i didn't know they renamed harlequin. Good to know kevin is working on malum stuff. Could you show a picture of your malum spider?
And thanks for the trick comments yeah hopefully i could like you said reignite some excitement in the gene. Based off the trick pied picture i'd like to believe a trick pinstripe pastel pied will look great. Cheetah pastel pied was and maybe still is one of my ideas down the road.

this is an internet photo of an ARAZA.
another link...
and finally the HUGE ARAZA FEMALE that I recently acquired and plan on breeding.
Nice araza good luck with her carldordelman. I like when people tinker with some of the newer gene's. I guess it may not be the best idea but maybe azara is a good gene to mix with enchi stuff to help amp enchi up. I say amp cause azara has bands and no spots so maybe they can help make a even better enchi. Again good luck.

It is a cool idea, to make a ench-araza combo! I really think Araza looks more clean and even more reduced pattern than Enchi. I own a pretty piebald and a ghost, yet I prize the araza the most! Just such a stunning, rare pattern to me! I will take more photos later, right now she is in blue, and needs to be left alone.

Re: Forgotten morphs
i have a mocha calico. I knew about mocha but never really looked into it until i saw an itty bitty baby at the pomona show. Couldnt resist so we walked away with him.
i've got a few things i wanna put him with in the future if i can get my hands on any, but at the moment hes still too small and young to even smell a female and know he's a man x3
I'd love to add trick to my collection, just cuz i like the name mostly.
how about KRG (Kalabash Reduction Gene)? anyone with any in their collection, or nah, just a few for sale, and they're all from the same breeder?

Thanks for the input. Can you post a pic of the mocha calico. I'd love to see it. I don't think I've ever seen one.
If you like trick go for it. I sure you can get something pretty nice for a decent price.
And for KRG i'm not very familiar with it but thanks for reminding me about it.
