Quad Het Clutch Hatching

guyergenetics Aug 20, 2009 08:21 AM

The clutch from my quad het female (Amel, Anery, Hypo, Motley) has begun to hatch.

The whole purpose of this breeding was to find out if my big 7yr old Normal male had anything hidden in his genotype or not.

Apparently he's het Amel.

Thanks man.

I wanted to see if he had any hidden genetics and what better to test him with than a female that is het for 4 common traits?

I have a lot of Amels popping out of this clutch now. Lots more normals. I haven't seen anything else come out yet.

That was the optimum specimen to breed her to to detect any common recessive traits, no doubt!

have fun with them!

There are a lot of Amels coming out of this clutch. I'm going to have to get some individual photos up on here. These Amels that are popping out are very high orange, very similar to a Creamscicle, but there's not any Emoryi blood involved.

That Phantom is a screamer!

Looks like that's a really fun pair to work with!
