A betta-fish inspired secondary gene!
Betta fish can have so many patterns on their lovely fins! Here are a few ideas I have, using photos of my friend's bettas (note the bettas don't live in cups, they live in tanks. The cups are used for photo taking).
Name Ideas: Betta, Fish, Bicolour
As you can see, the fins are two colours - one colour on the outside, black or white, and another colour on the inside. This pattern is called butterfly, but since there's already a butterfly gene on site, I used other name ideas. I was thinking the inside of the dragon's wings (and mane/frills/feathers, if present) would be the base colour (Azure, Crimson, Purple, etc) while the outside is some shade of black or white (the white and black range colours could then have the outside colour be the opposite - White would have a black outer edge, and Obsidian would have a white outer edge). Sometimes the difference is crisp, like on the first image, or it is a transition, like in the second image.
Another idea I have is a bit more simple, and potentially too similar to other secondary genes.
There's the base colour (black and red on these fish), and then another, shiny colour over top, in streaks and dashes, and sometimes making spot patterns. It's a little plain, but I think it can be quite pretty. As you can see, usually the top fin has almost nothing but the "accent" colour, and then the tail has the streaks, while the anal fin has the least/no "accent" colour. I think this could make for some interesting varience from breed-to-breed.
@EarthTiger pinging myself to add images later of the mock up genes
