Platinum X Platinum (Fire) make Ivory and Platinum. Platinum X Ivroy is the same. Ivory X Ivory males Ivories, Platinums and sometimes Ultra Ivories. I don't know where the "Leucistic" came in, Bob Clark and Jay. I still think a TRUE Lucy is a Het. to a Het. Not necessarily a recessive het, but like a Co-Dom "Super." I hope I helped, and Hope I was correct..

i dont exactly know the percentages of what youd get, but i know that ivory to ivory created the first solid black eyed pure white lucys. as for the others id probably say ultras and ivories too. being double genetic makes it kinda tough to figure percentages..
