Adrienne Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Does anyone know about the double tail gene that some fighters carry but don't actually have versus those that show the double tail. I have some very nice young 1/2 Cambos at the moment - their father was a single tail with the double tail gene and wondered if I crossed them with a full cambo showing the d/t what are my chances of getting d/ts. Also have a very very light blue cambo male and a nearly translucent male as well. Have some young females with nearly translucent fins as well, do you think if I paired these this would continue? Their bodies are a very very pale pink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilson Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 if the male has a resave gene he would pass on to about 1/2 of his ofspring the trat if you found two of the ofspring that are carrers of the double tale gene then 1/4 of the resulting fry will have the double talk im preaty sure this is right :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishboi Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 that is how ur supposed to breed DTs. breeding DT with a single tail carrying DT gene because breeding 2 DTs together will get mostly deformity although i had success in the past with one of my lines breeding DTs together. when breeding a DTM with a single tail female carrying the DT gene u will get about 50/50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted February 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 Thanks guys - will wait a couple of weeks and give it a shot. Heres hoping for some completely white/translucent d/ts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrienne Posted February 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 Yep, took some at the weekend but even with assistance and advice from others on this site I can't post them. Have to wait until my son stops his gaming competition tonight and see if he will do it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron-Betta Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 I have a red male with half black cellophane fins (sorta butterfly) if you would like a loan to get some stronger genes. I have breed one lot off him with a DT female, but with lots of deformities as explained in an earlier post. The other way I got a DT was through pure luck, I was breeding two veiltails and got him as a "genetic retard" We have kept him and he is shaping up to be an awesome fish.

Adrienne Posted February 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 Hi Aaron, can you post a pic of him, love to see him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron-Betta Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Here's a pic of him, you cant really see the double tail from that angle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron-Betta Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 A common problem with breeding DT's together. Breeding DT's together have a high ratio of deformities as compared to other strains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrienne Posted March 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Are the deformities just in the tail and fins or in the actual bodies of the fish as well and was the whole spawn affected? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron-Betta Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 deformities can be in the fins or arched spines etc. those are the only two i have encountered so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
