Hi everyone, Well i have two questions.. i have a female Snow and i was wondering what would i have to pair her up with to produce Moonglows? the other question is i also have a female lipstick Sunglow and i was thinking of purchasing a Motley Albino male will i be able to produce a Motley Sunglow with this pairing?
Thanks Frank

You will want to stay away from albino x albino breeding because it heightens the risk of weak deformed babies. But yes a sunglow to a albino motley should produce approx. 25% Sunglow Motleys

If I were you I would buy a nice ghost het Moonglow (Hypo Anery het Albino)to breed with your snow and a Motley het Albino for your Sunglow.

Snow X Ghost het Albino
25% Anery het Albino(Snow)
25% Albino het Anery(Snow)
25% Hypo Anery het Albino(Moonglow)
25% Moonglow

Sunglow x Motley het Albino
12.5% Normal het Albino
12.5% Motley het Albino
12.5% Albino
12.5% Albino Motley
12.5% Hypo het Albino(Sunglow)
12.5% Hypo Motley het Albino(Motley Sunglow)
12.5% Sunglow
12.5% Sunglow Motley

Thanks!!

the outcomes on your first pairing are incorrect. Since both parents are homozygous Anery, all babies would be homozygous Anery.....

Snow X Ghost het Albino = Albino Anery x Hypo Anery het Albino

Two traits with 2 outcomes and a third with only one is 4 possible phenotypes...
25% Moonglow
25% Ghost het Moonglow
25% Snow
25% Anery het Snow

IMO an even better pairing would be....

Snow x TH Moonglow

1/8 Moonglow
1/8 Sunglow het Moonglow
1/8 Ghost het Moonglow
1/8 TH Moonglow
1/8 Snow
1/8 Albino het Snow
1/8 Anery het Snow
1/8 DH Snow

Not as many Moonglows but a huge variety of babies.
