Hi guys, this maybe a stupid question or it may not.....

am i right in thinking super reds where made from breeding the darker colored albino's time and time again untill they took on a more red form.....?

if so although it will be a long process do you think it would be possible to breed in an albino longfin with a super red in an attempted to make an Super Red LongFin,

i know it might have to go down several generation's but ultimately would it be possible.....

your thoughts ?

yeah, its possible. but the issue is that the line is so fragile that trying to add in the longfin gene will most likely result in the loss of the red colour. although, if you have the time and effort then go for it and you will be rich!

humm yeah i been doing a bit of reading into it..odd's are not good, lol.....however,

if a lf and sf are breed i think it was about 25% ish chance on lf.....

and of that 25% i gonna need a little begger to keep his red Smile

think i will get a batch of these guys of as they are first and then grow a few on to try it with, lenthly process but will keep me busy for a while, lol

albino, the common gene will dominate the albino and all the fry will be brown. No red at all.

It wont be as simple as crossing the red with a lf and hoping that some of the longfin fry are red. As far as I can tell the red is not a distinct genotype which means that it is kind of like a breed of dog. Cross it with another and you end up with a mess. It will take many generations to get the longfin red again. Im sure those crafty German have been trying to do it for a while.

yeah wouldn't surprise me,

so in essence i would be best with a LF male and SR female and another pair of LF female and SR male and then breed the 'darker coloured' albino's back together in a hope to get the red color back......

well i got plenty of time, lol

They probably have already and now would be perfecting it. But that's just speculation tho...

my friend bred a german super red with an albino longfin and got brown short fin fry we another friend of mine bred a red with a calico longfin and ended up with a few red longfins aswell as the calicos its very interesting all this genetics i think the fry colour actually is more based on the origional individual fish used for projects like this more than just the morph type? Very Happy
