    Info on Ghost's needed

    Im looking to pick up a female ghost soon but was confused on the difference. There are ghosts, orange ghosts, green ghosts, butterscotch ghosts, peach ghosts ect.

    If memory serves they are not compatible with eachother but can people tell me their preference. I really like the ghostly look and really want to add it into my projects in the coming years so thought I would ask for some ideas.

    Thanks in advance.

    Someone has got to have some input. Bad time to post I guess.

    I have a male orange ghost, I kinda really like him. Not sure about the others. According to WOBP.com "Ghost - Also known as Hypo or Hypomelanistic. The “Ghost” is a recessive mutation that reduces the black pigmentation. Although there are many different lines of ghosts, they generally follow the same general description. Ghosts are varying shades of yellow, brown, grey and green. Their sheds are always clear much like albinos, with faded dark colors with a faded head. A ghost will always appear to be in shed or always seem to have a hazy appearance."

    Here's my 2010 male OG.

    That's a nice looking OG. I was wondering if they were compatible like if I bred a black pastel het ghost to an orange ghost??

    In GENERAL most lines of ghosts are compatible.

    I don't know which ones aren't compatible, but ones with the following names should be (in addition, are the most common):

    - orange ghost
    - hypo
    - butterscotch ghost
    - ghost

    Edit:

    Just remembered, "desert ghost" is not compatible with the above

    I think unless stated otherwise, when most people are talking about ghost they are talking about the hypo/orange ghost.

    So if that's the case why can't I find pictures of a hypo orange ghost? Or ghost orange ghost. Someone has had to created them by now. Even wobp has nothing on them.

    It seems like the majority of ghosts sold today are orange ghosts. I've also heard some aren't compatible but I'm drawing a blank on the details. Orange Ghosts are one of my favorite morphs, they add a lot when combined with others.
