    Thanks Mike! Do you have any experience with breeding them? And genetics behind that trait? In my opinion it is reccessive mutation, my guess would be that more than a single allele is involved (judging by the frequency) or it is de novo mutation (unlikely, as there are more frogs with the same phentotype, and if it shows up out of sudden it must be dominant). Also interesting is that those frogs emerged as the very last from the whole batch, kind of retarded... It took them some 2,5-3 weeks longer than average... We are going to breed this pair once again in a month or so, and will see if we get more frogs like this...

    Most mutant type pacman frogs are the last to come out of the water. See if the back half of the belly is clear on those frogs. As far as breeding those babies back to each other you may not get the same colors as the parents.

    my two phantoms here do not produce phantom when bred together.

    Thanks for the tip Mike! We still have some 30+ "late" tadpoles - and most of them look kind of strange...

    Interesting, these results are similar to some fish genetics, where breeding a male and female with variation does not produce the variation (i.e. an Electric Blue Jack Dempsey).
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​
