Hello Everyone!

I must say it is a pleasure to be able to have so many nice people offering their help.

My question is this...

If I breed an Albino to a Tangerine, what do I end up with..

What would you call it? Is that how I make a Tangerine Albino?

Please advise
Thank you
Maggie

If you breed an albino to a tangerine you would get anywhere from normals to tangerines that were all het. for albino. You would have to breed to tangerine het. albinos together to get a Tangerine Albino. here is a pic of one...

You could also breed an animal thats het for tang albino to an actual Tangerine albino as well.

dont be too mad if im wrong, but i dont think there is a such thing as het for tangerine albino. i think it can only be het albino. im pretty sure, i always think of tang albinos as line breed albinos, that didnt take much work, lol.

your head will collapse, but there's nothing in it, and you'll ask yourself, "where is my mind"

actually I think your right, tangerine is selective bred and not reccessive (yep I butchered that one). So saying het tang albino is about the same as het high yellow, heh doesn't make to much sense now that I think about it...

anything could be considerd "het" for anything, although we don't use this for the line bred traits, we use "carries the genes for" or, for example, a tangerinexcarrottail cross. The only difference is that a true ressesive gene does not represent it self on the first generation with the exception of both parents carrying the gene for the desired trait, line breds can.
