A new guy!

[bettafan]

I'm an evil guy, :) I am very proud of my genetics, I have worked long an hard to produce fish of this caliber, and I think they still need tons of work. :) Glad you like them. :)

Welcome to the Box
I do mostly Reds (or & yel) Bicolors
but sometimes strange colors end up in my fish room.
Sent a white STF to the Dallas Show this weekend.

I've been moaning, nothing is ready now, but I have 4 spawns going so spring should be a good time for me . I'll watch the results and see how that female does.
Talk about weird, I just did a spawn of white X steel, and got all white fry??? the blue is not supposed to carry white. go figure.

No so true, I've been breeding whites to blue buterflys to get whiter butterflys and 50% come out white.



Just in case you haven't seen it before
The following 24 genotypes appear white:
but only the four breed true

** cc=SiSi=OpOp=BlBl=nrnr=bb
· cc=Si+=OpOp=BlBl=nrnr=bb
· cc=SiSi=Op+=BlBl=nrnr=bb
· cc=Si+=Op+=BlBl=nrnr=bb
** cc=SiSi=OpOp=BlBl=nrnr
· cc=Si+=OpOp=BlBl=nrnr
· cc=SiSi=Op+=BlBl=nrnr
· cc=Si+=Op+=BlBl=nrnr
** cc=SiSi=OpOp=BlBl=LL=bb
· cc=Si+=OpOp=BlBl=LL=bb
· cc=SiSi=Op+=BlBl=LL=bb
· cc=Si+=Op+=BlBl=LL=bb
** cc=SiSi=OpOp=BlBl=LL
· cc=Si+=OpOp=BlBl=LL
· cc=SiSi=Op+=BlBl=LL
· cc=Si+=Op+=BlBl=LL
· cc=SiSi=OpOp=BlBl=L+=bb

· cc=SiSi=OpOp=BlBl=L+
· cc=Si+=OpOp=BlBl=L+

Note:

c --> Cambodian (recessive)
Si --> Spread Irridescence (Dominant)
Op --> Opaque (Dominant)
Bl --> Steel Blue (Semi-Dominant)
nr --> Non-Red (recessive)
b --> Blond (recessive)
L --> Red-Loss (Dominant)

using probably 6 of those combinations.

I suppose thats why then, I have been lucky, and for years, getting steel x si/op to throw steel with red wash. seems pretty usual. but this time I used a blue grizzle from a white x white spawn. Its weird that all of a sudden what i thought to be true is not ringing out. I do think its because of the outcrosses I have gotten three years ago. I even had one outcross throw them darn marbles, I am far from a marble fan. They were beautiful but way off what I want. I only use steels to help the form and color. And my fish all carry NR from another outcross I did. Which I want to do again.
