I know that a albino to a hypo is a sunglow but what about an albino to a salmon???
can someone help answer this genetic question?
Thanks-Alex

Combining salmon and albino produces sunglow. Generally, when people say hypo, they mean salmon. And as far as I know, no other kind of hypo has been combined with albino.

a salmon is the line of hypomelanism from Rich Ihle...theres also other lines such as the orange tail. but whatever the bloodlines are called, they are all hypomelanistic boas.

if you breed and albino to a hypo (salmon or other) you get roughly half hypo's het albino (a.k.a. DH sunglow), and half normal looking babies het for albino. if the hypo parent is a super then almost all, if not all, of the offspring will be DH sunglow.

in order to get a sunglow you then breed two DH sunglow's together. you can also get sunglows from a DH sunglow x albino breeding and a DH sunglow x het albino breeding.

hope this helps, Nick
