Leopard Black Ghost

Multiple Locus Phenotype


Non-wild alleles that interact to form this phenotype:

Leopard black and leopard black ghost phenotypes would be difficult to distinguishable from each other.   The different phenotype names are more useful for describing the genotype than the phenotype.  A leopard black has one of these the genotypes:

D/D - Z/+ - Sm/Sm
D/D – Z/Z – Sm/Sm
D/Gm - Z/+ - Sm/Sm
D/Gm - Z/Z - Sm/Sm
D/g - Z/+ - Sm/Sm
D/g - Z/Z - Sm/Sm

A leopard black ghost is a leopard black with the addition of one stripeless allele.  A “leopard” angelfish requires at least one zebra allele, and a ghost requires one stripeless allele.  Since zebra and stripeless act as alleles of each other, the leopard black ghost will always haveone zebra and one stripeless allele, and will have one of these genotypes:

D/+ - Z/S - Sm/Sm
D/D - Z/S - Sm/Sm
D/Gm - Z/S - Sm/Sm
D/g - Z/S - Sm/Sm
