alanmin4304 Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 It would have to be a split. Sometimes albino splits will show a little of the albino gene. It shows a little in birds sometimes but not always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insect Direct Posted November 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 True, thats interesting. So one can hold a gene, even genes for something yet show no physical trait, partial trait, or full trait like albino. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 The genes are in pairs so albino is two albino genes, split is one of each but albino is recessive so it looks normal and normal is 2 normal genes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navarre Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 That is true Alan unless the gene is multi focal and then you have an "expression" gene which switches the colour "on" or "off". an example of this is say a boxer dog which has genes for 3 colours brindle which is dominant red which is recessive and white which is god knows what. you can have an all white dog with pigment so not albino (never seen one of those) but it will have coloured pups you can mate flashy dog to flashy bitch(flashy means a lot of white) and get block ( not much white) pups all becasue of the "switch" or "expression gene. hope that makes sense. It would seem here tho that the "albino" gene is unifocal as most of these guys are either one or other and that it may be sex dependant as some of these "guys" are not that fertile or survivable depending on sex....maybe?

livingart Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 to complicate things it could be a pied gene showing up as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanmin4304 Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 So don't get caught with your trousers down? There are a few options--we may know more if they can be bred for a few generations. Have you had any albinos breeding this season? I have lots of croaking but no real serious activity. I could be playing the wrong music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insect Direct Posted November 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 probably best not to :lol: Yeah breeding them for a few gens should give us more understanding. Only one small spawn from albino so far this season, couple infertile. My record is 4months croaking, lots of failed amplexing = finally one lot of eggs :roll: they really are a good challenge thats for sure. Id say by 2020 i should have some ready for sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great but i need a macro lense , or maybe just a tube thing so i can get better closeups. Still figuring out the basics really, but so far very happy with it.
