Devon Posted June 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Hey guys/girls. Woke up this morning and found some half albino fry in my tank. Theres 3 of them so far. None of which have red eyes. Shes still in labour tho. After these being breed with a half albino male and a full albino would this mean they are morn albino then the rest??? If so what should i do with them now. breed them with there auntys or there sisters???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcon021 Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 no it doesn't mean they are more albino. it just means that they are sure albino carriers if they are not albino looking (pheno and geno types) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon Posted June 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Okies. Any idea on what I should be doing with this lot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcon021 Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 should put them back to an albino which is not the mother...or if you have another line cross it over with F1 of that generation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keri Anne Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 im just kidding there... :roll: You were?? Devon is right - I'd be keen. We could call it "NZ-ALBA" New Zealand Albino Livebearer Breeders Association. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcon021 Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 riiiiiiiiiiite..hehe sounds funny but 8) .... Hey one of you breeders need to hook me up with some albino young. Please. My females are just lazy and dont wanna give me any babies!!!! :evil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcon021 Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 i've got half albino babies now :bounce: ...the only problem is that the female was with the wrong male..black tux (till i made up my mind about what to do) so these babies are not that useful but can get albino out of them in the long run.. Just wondering how long will it take a female to produce fry that have the blood line of the 'new' male. i was thinking maybe another 2 more lots and then be able to see fry that are from the new male.. he has been in there with the female for just over a week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcon021 Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 There is also another problem producing albinos by out crossing. when the half split are put back together (or even the half and a full albino) the albino that come out could possibly carry another gene, which can come out at a later stage. So test matings need to be done before it can be established that you have got a pure albino and not an albino with a maked gene :-? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
