Reverse Okeetees

That is a very good question I'm still learning genetics hopefully one of the more experienced can help out.
 
That would have been my guess with the okeetees but I'm no expert so I was waiting for the more experienced for a comment.
 
Right, RO's are selctively bred amel's, selected for thick white borders. Genetically they are amel. Okeetee's don't even have to be involved in the producing of RO's, they are only called reverse "okeetee" because of their thick borders, similar to a non-amel okeetee. Kind of a misleading name, kind of.
 
Okeetees were not used to make the original Reverse Okeetees. ROs were created from selectively bred amels (as others in the thread have stated). A friend of mine hatched an albino from Okeetee stock a couple of years ago, but Reverse Okeetees are more like Candy Canes and Sunglows - specific amels line-bred for certain characteristics.
