So, after seeing the "Marvel Ball" (or Citrus Super Stripe) on Markus Jayne's website, I decided to play around with the genetic wizard and came across something interesting. O.K. So you breed the Specter and the Yellow Belly to make the Super Stripe, right? And the Citrus Super Stripe (CSS) is a Citrus Pastel, Specter, and the YB all rolled into one. Alright. Here's where it gets strange. If you have a Super Stripe, and you breed it to the Citrus Pastel, it shows that you won't get a CSS out of that clutch. The only way to get it is to have a Citrus Pastel YB bred to the Specter. It won't work the other way around. Is this just a glitch in the genetic wizard, or is it just the way these genes work together? In other words, you have to have the YB in one parent, and the Specter gene in the other in order to produce it this way? Anyway, I love the Marvel Ball, and would love to make one some day, "Lord willing and the creek don't rise!" Just found this a little strange.
