Smokey
Black
Multiple Locus Phenotype
Non-wild alleles
that interact to form this phenotype:
Dark
(D),
Smokey (Sm)

The Smokey
black phenotype has one allele for smokey at the smokey locus and two
alleles for dark (black) at the dark locus. It has the genotype:
D/D – Sm/+
Unlike a
smokey lace, in which the distribution of color is similar (although
darker) to that of a smokey, in the smokey black, the dark coloration
covers the entire body. An attractive and distinct lace pattern can
be seen in the dorsal and anal fins and in the tail.
