Bongos are not part of the YB complex. The hitcher you saw can replicate itself even when put to a normal. Bongos are striped to an extent even as a single gene. But they Stripe and wack out the pattern of other genes they are put with.Originally Posted by Trisnake
Hello all. I have a some questions for anyone who may be working with or has experience with the Bongo gene
Today I was looking at various Bongo morphs on WOBPs and an animal named "The Hitcher" popped up; this animal carries both the spark and bongo genes and looks like something between a superstripe and a gravel-spark. So naturally, out of curiosity, I start looking for photos of other bongo Ivory-complex crosses and managed to find a picture of a Cinnamon Orange Dream Bongo Yellowbelly produced by OzzyBoids. This animal also looks as though it is allelic, with similar striping and mottled pattern on the sides. I also found a Facebook post by Garrick DeMeyer showing a lock between a Bongo x Fire OD Yellowbelly, but I haven't been able to find the clutch results as of yet.
So my question is, has anyone here paired ivory-complex animals to a bongo before? And what were your results? Has anyone proven them to be allelic? Because that's kind of what it looks like to me...
