I want to start my sunglow prodject this year. I wanted to make sure my thinking is currect.

DH sunglow X DH sunglow=
25% sunglow (poss. super)
50% Hypo 66% het albino (poss. Super)
25% Hypo (Poss. super)

DH sunglow X Albino=
25% Sunglow
25% Hypo het albino
25% albino
25% het albino

Super Salmon het albino X Albino=
50% sunglow
50% Hypo het Albino

Does all this look currect? I have never worked with co-dom and dom traits before. Just always played around with recessive.

Thank you, Lee

The first breeding scenario is off a little

a dh sunglow to dh sunglow will result in this
25% sunglow
50% hypo that are 66% poss het albino
and 25% that is 66% poss het albino

The way to figure it out the easiest is to look at the codom form of hypo as a het form of a recessive trait..So breeding 2 codom (het form) hypos together is the same as breeding 2 het albinos.

which result in 25% being homozygous/dominant 50% being heterozygous/codominant and 25% being normal/non trait carrier.

You never experience life until you have kids, then you realize what you should have done rather then what you did do

Correct me if I'm wrong but breeding a DH Sunglow X DH Sunglow Theoretically will give you:

DH Sunglow X DH Sunglow
18.75% pos. super sunglows
6.25% albinos

Similar to what you said, a het to het will result in 25% homo. Then add the hypo trait to it. Breeding a hypo to hypo will give 75% hypos. Since the hypo and albino are independent events to get the probability of the combined 2 traits you multiply both percentages, meaning:

25% * 75% = 1/4 * 3/4 = 18.75% pos super sunglow
25% - 18.75% = 6.25% albinos

These are standard formulas of statistics and probability based on independent events.

Hopes this helps

If we want to have the exact percentages breakdown here it is

6.25% normal
12.5% Het. albino,
6.25% Homozygous albino,
12.5% codom hypo,
25% codom hypo, Het. albino, (dh sunglow)
12.5% codom hypo, Homozygous albino, (codom sunglow)
6.25% dominant hypo,
12.5% dominant hypo, Het. albino, (dh sunglow)
6.25% dominant hypo, Homozygous albino (dominant sunglow)

lol, I looked at it and just realized I didn't seperate the 2 traits..lol..my bad...I posted a more accurate breakdown below.

This is a post I have been waiting for, for quite some time. A question along these same lines. What is the potential outcome of a DH Sunglow X Het Albino?

12.5% normal
25% Het albino
12.5% albino
12.5% hypo
25% hypo het albino (dh sunglow)
12.5% sunglow

or in the actual way the litter will be looked at is this

12.5% sunglow
12.5% albino
37.5% hypo possible het albino (poss dh sunglow)
37.5% poss het albino
