Diego,



Neither tangerine nor tricolor is a simple recessive. They're apparently the result of the interaction of many genes. So a tricolor and tangerine can produce mostly one or the other type, or a roughly 50-50 split, or many animals in between the two types, all depending on what complicated genetics they contain from prior generations. When the first response says the female has a good chance of being het amel too, that's speculation, depends on how many het/amel females you think might have been sold into the trade as "normals" without touting their genotype. That IS possible, but IMHO probably less than likely, especially with a tangerine, since people have been working hard to produce tangerine albinos. Good luck with yours.
