I really hope that you don't think I was being a jerk or trying to pick something. That was NEVER ever my intention. If I came accross that way I am very sorry.

Yes, there are some laddertails that are genetic, including the squaretails, in a square to square breeding, you are 100%correct.

The tread did kind of get hijacked into a discussion about the squaretails and the "hets" and not just about laddertails. I am sorry. I just know that a lot of people are kind of confused about the whole squaretail thing and its genetics. I know I was totally shocked when they got labled recessive, for reasons stated earlier in this tread. Science is science, and the rest is assumptions. I was only trying to find out if you knew something I didn't, and to share what I know. I was really hoping for new info on that project.

The squaretails do have that extra color boost that is not "recessive", and will make outstanding albinos regardless of whether or not the pattern proves.

Good luck with your breedings!
I hope we are good!
