Pixel (ACR Line)

Pixel x Super Soft+

History

Pixel is a gene that popped up here in my colony in the past 5-10 years and is just now starting to appear in any real numbers for us to play with.  A handful have been leaked on accident from my colony, but I've produced very few Pixels, relative to everything else I work with.  Disclaimer: I believe this is a different gene than some others being sold as Pixel, but the community has been fairly open-minded about what could be going on here, what's the same, what's different, etc.

What's the Definition of Pixel?

Before you read any further, it's important to note that, as of mid-2024, we still don't know exactly how Pixel interacts with all the other genes and traits out there.  

What I noted first is the pixelated pattern on the sides, obviously where the name came from, but they also seem to have a lot going on with the dorsal.  Another thing we've started to see with some of the higher-end Pixel combos is that white pattern looks like it has been "eaten away" in a circular pattern - reminiscent of how a caterpillar eats a leaf.  This can occur on the dorsal, the white fringe on the hind legs, lateral markings, etc.  What else it does in other combos, I'm not sure yet.

PS: I don't know where gene "definitions" started, but "definitive" statements don't belong in serious conversations about a new gene.  We're all still learning exactly what Pixel does in various combos, a process that takes years. That being the case, I'm personally not comfortable making any concrete statements about what all Pixel does at this point.  Take any definition you read with a grain of salt - you'll likely see those definitions change over the next several years as new combos are produced.
