Recommended Posts

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????

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

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 :-?
