Ablino or Jungle Het Albino

grooter2 Mar 21, 2009 03:09 AM

Would you breed a Sunglow to an "Albino" or a "Jungle Het. Albino"?

50% Albinos and 50% Sunglows

OR

Jungle Sunglows, Jungle Albinos, Jungle Salmons, Sunglows, Jungles, Salmons, Albinos, and Normal Het. Albino

I might be wrong with what they produce, correct me if I'm wrong

Jungle het albino pairing! From an economican AND visual standpoint. To me it's a given. You get everything from the albino x sunglow litter but way more. So you get a few less albinos and sunglows. No big deal. It's more then made up for by all the different jungle vaiations (ie normal jungles het albino, albino jungles, salmon jungles het albino, sunglow jungles). EVERYTHING in this litter that is not albino, is het albino. Wether you intend to sell most of the offspring, hold some back, whatever, the jungle het albino option is the way to go. Good luck!

Without question the Jungle Het. If all works out you will produce like you said Junglow, Jungle Albino, Albino, Jungle Het Albino, Salmon Jungle Het Albino, DH Sunglow, Sunglow, Albino and Het Albino. Alot nicer litter then just Sunglows and Albinos No?
Dont get me wrong, really nice red albinos and Sunglows are my favorite, but I would go with the Jungle.

It depends on the sunglow and the albino or jungle het. If you have a really colorful albino like a Ronne patel albino, Burke listick or MDC red albino and your jungle het is a low expression jungle then you may be better off with the albino. Low expression jungles can be hard to pick out as albinos and especially in sunglows. Really colorful albinos and sunglows may do better than less colorful jungle albinos and sunglow jungles where you aren't even sure if they are jungles with most of the babies. If your sunglow is not very colorful then going with color may be even more important. If your jungle het is very aberrant than you should absolutely use the jungle het.
