You have no clue how nice it is to read someone's first post that is this well researched. Good work.

It could have even happened in the wild, as most auratus origin are from Panama.

It is very likely that this is the case, but, there has been alot of discussion about the word "morph" lately (Science and Conservation section, Ding dong the morph is dead, by bbrock). I think if you read what's discussed in that thread, you'll understand why intermixing in the wild is fine while doing the same in captivity is not considered to be.
If he doesn't pop in on this, Ben C (that's his username) has done research on Hawiian Auratus and their appearance. He may be able to give you some good information on what you're thinking.
