Sunglow genetics

sport72186 Sep 13, 2007 02:59 PM

Is a sunglow a 1st generation cross between a SHTCT and an albino? or is it a double recessive morph where you would have to breed a SHTCT x Albino and then breed your double hets together? Responses are appreciated.

I believe it is a first gen cross, a SHCT x Albino. Check out vms herp. They lay it out pretty well. Have fun.

Um, i'm not really good with genetics, but can you have a SHCT het? I was under the impression that SH/hypo is line bred, no hets. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

O.. ya you are right. It cant be het for SHTCT because it is line bred. So that makes me believe that it is first generation. Thanks.

Given that, I think you may want a SH x hybino cross, first generation. In my experience, a SHCT x normal gives VERY few, if any super hypos. While hypo x SHCT will yield mostly hypos, and several supers.
