I would have thought the best way is to get the exact same strain as the father then select the whites ones in till all the pink etc was covered over threw using the same most white metallic of the same strain. that way you will not end up with a load of muts that throw really nothing like you are wanting.
but I just a novice so my selective breeding ways by using only the same strain is wrong?
well actually you know you might also find that by breeding into its own that what your aim is is what the actual fish has been made of in dominance. might get pure white body clear tails or pink, red, yellow tails white platinum metallic full whites. giving you many color types that made this strain. all buy just breeding into it self and of cause the pure solid pink moscows are so beautiful that were at the bird barn and that type will be their to.
might cost less to as you might only need a few extra tanks for the different types of color variations. tail type variations might also be a few different tanks.
i only just started but already my few tanks have different color types and patterns to breed.
it is most probable the best thing to do before making new strains with an out X to know fully what you are using first. an actually a very cleaver breeders out breeding might be back into the same line.
I am a complete novice but not totally stupid as a 98% average over university 32 subjects.
Darwin was one of the very best at genetic line breeding.
