hyjinx Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 These 2 have bred together and the babies have just left the cave and look very dark ? is this normal as i was expecting them to look lighter in colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F15hguy Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 they are both recessive genes, so possible you will end up with heaps of browns, or even lutino's (correct me if im wrong) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcon021 Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 The Albino is a recessive gene and the golden is a subdominant gene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyjinx Posted November 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 I guess the babies are all going to be brown then or mabe slightly different they are to small to tell but they do look a little different they look a little lighter and the markings are brighter compared to the shortfin brown babies they are much darker. so would it be better to cross with a albino shortfin male ? rather than the golden male i did used to have a pair but the male died. not all the babies would be longfin but i would hope that some of them would be as my brown longfin bred with a shortfin and most of their babies were longfin.

Rabbit Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 Grow some young and cross them with the adults. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JazzyJeff Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Out of interest... Did the mating or egg laying exercise damage your female's finnage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
