Unless I've made a Punnett Square mistake here, the straight heterozygous to heterozygous mating should produce the following:

Het. albino
X
Het. albino

25% WT (Normals)
50% Het. albino (appear as normal; indistinguishable from regular
normals)
25% Homozygous albino

That I know, but I was talking the dh snow to a het albino breeding. 25% albino, 66%het for albino, and 50%het for anery? Is that right?

Unless I'm Punnett perplexed this morning-(and someone will certainly correct me if I'm mistaken)...with the proposed DH Snow x het albino mating, you should theoretically produce the following:

Het. albino & Het. anerythristic (DH Snow)
x
Het. albino

12.5% WT (Normals)
12.5% Het. anerythristic
25% Het. albino
25% Het. albino & Het. anerythristic (DH Snow)
12.5% Homozygous albino
12.5% Homozygous albino & Het. anerythristic

or if you were to have a litter of 16, the breakdown would be:

2 Normals
2 Het anery
4 Het albino
4 DH Snow *DH=(het albino & het anery)*
4 Albino
**** 2 Albino
**** 2 Albino 100% Het for anery
