any amel emoryi x amel corn pics...

wisema2297 Jan 28, 2007 11:32 AM

I know if you breed amel emoryi to amel corn you get normal looking offspring het for both forms of amel. I would like to see a pic of the results between crossing a pair of these offspring. I asssume some from the same clutch would be more red/orange than others because of the corn enfluence and some having more yellow because of the emoryi influence.

Technically would these still be called creamsicles?

Would amel emoryi X norm corn still yield (f2) creamsicles since there is no amel from the corn side involved?

Interesting question. The amel. corn x Emory crossing will yield a rootbeer and creamsicle eventually when you breed the hets, but I'm not sure if you should call the amel. Emory x corn cross a rootbeer, or eventually a creamsicle. I assume the two different amels. have been crossed with each other before since we know the mutations are not compatible, but I've never seen any photos.

I would now guess you're going to be making some amel. hybrids and probably have both the amel Emory's and the amel. corn. Personally, I'm going to breed the amel. corn into my Emory's, because I like the "creamsicles" the best, rather than the other way around.

Good luck....TC
