My opinion is there is 3.Originally Posted by littleindiangirl
The P. Curtus (aka black blood) has at least 3, maybe 4 distinct color phases. They go by so many nick names, and other common names...
The first that most people think of when they hear black blood is the Black Head. ( Aka, Dark Head).
The second is the Chrome heads (aka, light head).
Third is the Yellow/ Orange heads (although they may be light heads, but are so starkly different I can't see how they are one in the same)
Then the Caramel Albino morph, which has been reproduced by Tracy Barker of VPI.
Don't know if you have browsed, but we have a dark and light head p. curtus, I think it's pretty apparent that the light heads show more pattern.
I havent seen anything regarding..het, morph, or percent head black bloods. So the heads are types and morphs are just morphs, if that make sence. Vpi has different morphs. Zebra, Caramel, etc...Carmel morph as been confirmed but not sure what type of gene.
The black heads are known to grow longer...
The orange/peach/yellow..(rare imo, nice clean one) smallest.
Chrome heads grow in between.
What ever your beliefs are is up to you regarding types or morphs. I tend to say 3 and morphs dont count. But thats me.
To me...Its like for the bloods for example. They have locales. Brongersmai, Bangka, and sumatra reds. Stripes, hypos, ya-di..ya da..are red morphs to me...
Just fyi. Kara can confirm the 3 types and their lengths...
