| Here are the "results" of my most recent spawn: male SF Green Dragon x female LF Calico http://www.bristlenoseworld.com/t4864-male-sf-green-dragon-x-female-lf-calico_finally-spawned
I just spent 3 hours cleaning the fish tanks in my bedroom and cataloging the fry from this spawn!
Total Number of Fry = 81
Common/Regular Total = 62 (76.5%) Short Fin = 34 (54.8%) Long Fin = 28 (45.2%)
76.5% of the fry are of the common/regular color variety. 54.8% of this color variety are short fin and 45.2% are long fin.
Albino Total = 19 (23.5%) Short Fin = 7 (36.8%) Long Fin = 12 (63.2%)
23.5% of the fry are of the albino color variety. 36.8% of the albinos are short fin and 63.2% are long fin.
Long Fin vs. Short Fin Total Short Fin = 41 (50.6%) Regular/Common = 34 (82.9%) Albino = 7 (17.1%)
Total Long Fin = 40 (49.4%) Regular/Common = 28 (70%) Albino = 12 (30%)
There is only one more short fin fry than long fin. 82.9% of the short fin fry were regular/common and 17.1% were albino. Whereas 70% of the long fin fry were common and 30% were albino.
What is most to curious to me is how none of the fry are calico at all! It is generally accepted that the calico trait is a dominant trait, yet none of the fry express that trait. I expected upwards of half the fry to be calico. Any input on this? What do you guys know of the genetics of the calico and the green dragon? | |

| I would give them another few weeks to colour up, I have had a Marble male & common female SF pair up recently. 75% dark/normal common The other 25% are a really light coloured common at the moment & laid the same time as yours.
Fingers crossed ey! | |
