Marble Ghost
Multiple Locus Phenotype

Non-wild alleles that interact to form this phenotype:

 Marble Ghost

 A marble ghost is a marble angelfish with one stripeless allele.   The marble ghost has a marble allele paired with another marble allele, or with a gold marble or gold allele, and will have one of these genotypes:

M/M – S/+
M/Gm – S/+
M/Gm – S/+

 It is virtually indistinguishable from a non-ghost marble (one that does not have the stripeless allele).  A person who works with a particular strain of marble may discern a slightly lighter expression of color.  If the angelfish has an orange crown, the orange color will tend to be paler than in a non-ghost marble.  However, the average person  probably won’t detect any obvious difference between a marble and a marble ghost.
