A more acceptable explanation for their existence is their location and a genetic mutation in terms of pigmentation.There was a 'similar' issue regarding color forms/morphs. G.rosea (NCF) and (RCF) which turned out that the NCFs were genetically different and thus, G.porteri happened. We have to wait for a more concrete research for verification that's out thoughFor your breeding question, a NCF x NCF will yield NCF brood with a small chance of getting a DCF sling.DCF x DCF (both with DCF parents) will yield DCF slingsDCF x DCF (with one having a NCF parent) will yield both DCF and NCF slingsNCF (with NCF parents) x (DCF with DCF parents) will yield NCF slings since the normal color is the dominant trait for that species with a very low to no chance of getting a DCF slingNCF (with DCF parent) × (DCF with DCF parent) will yield DCF slings with a small chance at some NCF slingsSo no, they will not produce a new color but instead will have slings from either color</blockquote>
