I have a nice male Sunglow from Kathy Love that I just adore. I've bred him twice, but to a an amel with lots of red and minimal white. I'd to keep his genes going, so to speak (he's really lovely), and I was wondering what a good match for him would be.

1) One of his offspring

2) Another basic Sunglow (hard to find)

3) A sunglow motley (offspring would be het motley?)

I'd love some assistance!

Well, if I understand correctly, a sunglow is a line bred amel with reduced to no white around their blotches. So, breeding him to a high red/low white female would give you good choices to breed him back to. That and his offspring carry his genes for low to no white as well.

Hmmm...I see. I'm trying to interpret both of your posts. What I get from this mating are great looking amels that would look like Sunglows (and I have seen them sold as Sunglows) eept that they have traces as white. I love, love, love the no white Sunglow and that it what I am trying to achieve. Basically, it sounds almost impossible.

if you breed a sunglow to a sunglow you wouldnt necessarily get 100% sunglows... you would get 100% amels only a few resembling sunglows.
