ok, I've read two different things here. If you breed a salmon to an albino, do you get 100% dh sunglow or do you only get 50% dh sunglow? if it's 50%, what is the other 50%? and how could you tell which were the DH's? I'll get this all someday.

When one breeds an albino to a normal,salmon,arebesque,anery,ect,ect,ect,You would get 100% hets,or double hets when breeding to a salmon,the normals in that litter will also be 100% het for albinoism.The only way one will get 50% poss.hets would be for example if you breed a 100% het for albino to your salmon then you would have a litter of possible hets....
ALBINO TO NORMAL=100% Het's
Albino to 100% Het=100% Het's
100% to 100% Het=Albino's an Normal's that are 66% poss het's
100% to normal=50% poss het's
Hope this is correct anyone kick in an correct me if I am wrong,Hope this helps,Thanks Eric[Hypoboa]

Albinos will always pass down an Albino gene to every one of their offspring. A Salmon however since it is a dominant trait depends on the genetics of the specific animal, it could be het aka has only one Salmon gene or it could be homozygous aka has two Salmon genes.
If the Salmon is HET for Salmon, then the outcpome would be:
50% Salmon het for Albino or double het Sunglow
50% Het for Albino
If the Salmon is Homozygous for Salmon or "Super Salmon", then the outcome would be:
100% Salmon het Albino or double het for Sunglow.
Hope this helps.
