how they going to turn out?

bred an albino male to a common female. how are the babies going to turn out? 50/50 or mixed or ?

Hi,I have replied to this on your other post.They will more than likely be all common in colouration.Unless the female carries the albino gene (one of her parents were albino) but even then it is no guarantee that they will produce any albino's but is a possibility.

This means that your common male has an albino parent and so is carrying the albino gene.It doesn't mean though that every batch will be 50/50.It depends which fry get the albino gene from both parents and so becomes albino.The rest of the fry will be common in appearance but will be carrying the albino gene.It is possible that one batch could be all albino and one batch could be all common and any ratios in between.

all look to be common

Hi,that is what i would of expected.The fry will be carrying the albino gene so if any of them are bred to an albino they will produce some albino and some common.
