DH Ghost Question

shedthegear May 11, 2006 01:12 PM

I see a lot of postings for DH Ghosts.

Some are Hypo's Het for Anery and some are Het for Hypo and Het for Anery but don't display the Hypo coloration. What are the price points for these two variations?

What really constitutes a DH Ghost?

Hypo het. for Anery (D/H Ghost). No such thing as a het. for hypo. The hypo is Co-Dom.
Hope this helps with your question.
But you can find Hypo's that are 50% supers.
these are animals from a hypo to hypo breeding.

I see. Thanks.

So If I breed a possible Super Salmon Het for Anery to a Poss Super Ghost I can expect the following:

None are Super:
50% Dbl Het Ghost
50% Ghost (50% are Supers)

Salmon proves Super/Ghost isn't:
50% Dbl Het Ghost (50% Super Salmons)
50% Ghost (50% Super Ghost)

Ghost proves Super/Salmon isn't:
50% Dbl Het Ghost
50% Ghost (100% Supers)

Both prove Super:
50% Dbl Het Ghost (100% SuperSalmons)
50% Ghost (100% Supers)

Did I get this right?

No, not quite right:

So If I breed a possible Super Salmon Het for Anery to a Poss Super Ghost I can expect the following:

None are super:
37.5% ghost (33% super)
37.5% Hypo het Anery (33% super)
12.5% Anery
12.5% Normal

One proves Super (does not matter which one)
50% Ghost (50% super)
50% Hypo, Het Anery (50% super)

If both prove super
50% Ghost (100% super)
50% Hypo, Het Anery (100% super)

So...
If one proves Super (does not matter which one)
50% Ghost (50% super)
50% Hypo, Het Anery (50% super)

And...
If both prove super
50% Ghost (100% super)
50% Hypo, Het Anery (100% super)

If one or two proves Super I really won't know will I? I not only won't know which one proved Super, but I will get the same ratio if one proves as if two prove and there is no visible way of telling if 100% are supers or 50% are supers. How would you state the genetics? 75% Super?

Thanks

Yes, you may not be able to tell the difference, at that point IMO you state them at the lower percentage and list the possibility that at least one and maybe both parents were supers.
Some supers can be id'd by the lack of black around the tail patterns past the vent. maybe if all had little to no black that would be an indication of supers.
