Strawberry Genes???

I have been confused for sometime on this issue. If a Coral Snow or Coral Ghost are homo Strawberry then what is Salmon Snow/Ghost? Is it still just Strawberry influence just a different name?

I only ask because I am considering getting some Strawberry something at Daytona this year. So any help would be great.
 
I may be wrong but I was under the impression that coral snows were hypo snows, I know salmon is derived from strawberry. Oh and see ya in Daytona
 
Not all Coral Snows are from Hypo lines...I know, I had to go & confuse things, right?
I believe most are, or they started out that way, but some are from Strawberry lines.
I think Don would be a good one to ask. I have a pair of Corals, that are SMR lines, that I was told are *not* Hypo line.

One of my Corals, looks very Salmon, so IDK if they are along the same lines, jsut different names for different tones...?

What makes it confusing is that some people use the trade names interchangeably. anyway, coral is produced using Hypo A (and sometimes people say coral even if hypo is not in the picture, but has a pink coloring). Salmon is produced by using Strawberry.
 
Thanks Bob! As you probably know, it is hard to get true color on many Snows, Corals included. My male Coral (first one pictured) looks very salmon colored in person.
 
I think I will ask Don. Pretty much the way I am seeing it is Coral is Strawberry and Salmon is Hypo/Strawberry. That is really the only thing that makes sense if there is a genetic difference between the 2. Other ways like you said Heather different names for different tones. Maybe even line breed Corals are now Salmons.:headbang:

Then by that, mine would be Salmon Snows, I guess. I was told they are not Hypo line. *shrug*
 
Ok that is the other thing I figured. So if that is the case then how do you have a Coral Ghost it is already Hypo A? Man things were so much easier back in the day when a plan Snow corn was the it thing. Then Lavender and Caramel showed up. Now the soup has gotten so thick with traits that some clutches you cant even tell what is what anymore.

Hey wouldnt miss it for the world. I have not missed it 16 years running and this will make 17.

Does anyone know if Don is vending this year? Really starting to worry if there will be anyone there selling good quality corns.

They "look" more like salmon snows to me. They are beautiful either way. I think Walter recently distinguished the two recently in a different thread somehwere. I think it was one of his for sale ads.

Very good point to bring up. I could be wrong but i think "coral" ghosts come from hypo/strawberry or are line-bred for pink coloring.
 
So I found that thread of Walters. He says that a Coral Snow/Ghost is a Homo Hypo A and the Salmon Snow/Ghost is Homo Strawberry. This really doesnt clear up Coral Ghost for me Ghost are already homo Hypo A right or mayber they are homo Hypo B. Hell I dont know anymore my head hurts its time for bed.
 
Because of this type of confusion, i avoid using the terms "coral" and "salmon" as much as possible. I would rather say Strawberry Anery over Salmon Ghost anyway.

Walter says that Coral has "NOOOOO Strawberry in it" his quote not mine lol. Line breed makes more sense to me for sure.

That is the opposite of the problem I am having lol. I love the way Salmon roles of my tongue for a corn morph. Plus look at them they look just like the color salmon.

What is hypo b again? Ultra?

Lol I really dont know. I just thought it sounded good. If Walter says a Coral is Hypo A then I guessed there is a Hypo B. I know Strawberry is the 3rd hypo trait. I want to say that Sunkissed used to be Hypo B. I am just talking out of my you know what now though.
