Yup, I'd say hypo tang.
Hypo (hypomelanism) is an absence of melanistic pigment (melanine).

Yes, melanine is black pigment. Albinish is a total, recessive absence of melanine, whereas hypomelanism is be in just certain areas or a lesser amount of the pigment.

Yes, and If i'm right hypo means less than 10 blacks pigments on the body(not including tail and head), super hypo means no black pigments on the body(not including tail and head) and super hypo baldy means no black pigments on the entire body (not including tail)
Am I right??

I'd say that she's a gorgeous Hypo Tang  Super Hypo (to me anyways) means that there's no spotting on the body... although "hypo" definitions are a little inconsistent... some might call her a super hypo...
That probably didn't help much... lol...

Reduced pattern tangerine. Hypos lack any dark pigment on the back legs and feet with reduced spotting on the body, often normal spotting on the head and tail. She seems to have dark toes  Super hypo tangs lack pigment on the body, but usually have residual markings on the head and tail, usually 10 or fewer spots each. Just my two pennies

Just curious. Doesnt "Hypo" (in generall, not refering to any one animal) mean "less than normal", and "Hyper" mean "More than normal"?
Just wondering where this 10 spot thing comes in???

Yup, think of "hyperactive" meaning more active than normal. Although usually, we just call it "melanistic" when it's more than normal.
10 spots are a number breeders came up with so they could decide a hypo from a reduced pattern, and a super hypo from a hypo.
