I had my first lock up tonight between my Okeetee(female) and my amel (male). I am quite excited =D Just a curious question. The babies will be all oke correct?

Im no expert but I would say all normals het for amel. Someone please correct me if Im wrong.

Well,...they will all be normal looking(het. amel), but ONLY if the parents aren't recessive(het) carriers for some other genetic trait's that you might not be aware of. For example, the babies could be all amelanistic if the Okeetee parent is het for amelanism. Several other scenarios could be possible as well depending if the parents are carriers of some other recessive traits. But yes, going strictly by JUST "face value", you will have all hatchlings that are normal(het amel). Breeding the babies back to each other later on, will prove if any other traits are involved.

Thank you for your responses. I dont think either are het for anything but your never no. It will be a nice surprise if one of them proves out.
