Is there any research that supports betta color genetics? (Breeders Only Please)?

Question

If it claims to be genetics, shouldn't there be research and data...
I can't find any data on crosses/breedings, especially with many intermixing colors and I keep finding flaws with Jim Sonnier/Dr. Gene Lucas and All About Betta splendens.

Examples:
If blue/green/iridescence is all controlled by one type of pigment cell shouldn't iridescence only show itself with blue and greens fish?
Is it possible to have a cambodian with melano fin color if the fish has two copies of the recessive for each trait? How come we never see this, especially since people claim that the cambodian gene modifies black cell pigment?
Why is it assumed that the two non-reds, yellow and orange, are controlled by different genes instead of being different alleles of the same gene?

Any intelligent speculation on any of these questions is appreciated. Thanks.

Answer 2

The real problem is that betta coloration is far more complex than is presented by most betta site. Multiple genes interact with each other to produce colors. What most breeders have done is after 4, or 5 generations is eliminated most of the other genes that influence color. So their simplistic explanation of color genetics work just fine for their betta strain just work.
