Enchi

What Enchi looks like

Codominant; enhanced color and pattern. Super Enchi is very bright with reduced pattern

Color and pattern modifier that reduces pattern complexity, increases orange/copper coloration, and produces cleaner sides. Heterozygous (Enchi) shows moderate effect; homozygous (Super Enchi) is more dramatic with very reduced pattern, enhanced orange, and a distinctly different appearance. One of the most popular building-block genes. Some allelic complex lists place Enchi at the same locus as Cinnamon/Black Pastel, though most major genetic calculators currently treat Enchi as independent.

How to identify it: Enchi (het): increased orange, reduced lateral pattern, cleaner sides, subtle banding. Super Enchi: dramatically reduced pattern, vivid orange/copper, very clean sides, distinctive "super" appearance.

How Enchi is inherited

Enchi follows a incomplete dominant inheritance pattern, carried on the Enchi allele (locus Enchi).
