i am planing to buy an albino tangerine or a sunglow that looks very similar with each other.
can anyone tell me the difference of this two? because i dont know which one is which. thanks!

Sunglows have the hypo gene that seperates them from the "tangerine albino"

That's not to say that a tangerine albino doesn't come from or have influence from the hypo gene. A sunglow/hybino should look like an albino super hypo tangerine (CT) , but some offspring from those projects aren't quite super hypo and get labeled as tangerine albinos by some breeders.

How was the "hypo gene" identified?

Sorry, but I don't know exactly what you are asking.

a sunglow has no pattern making it a hypo
