With a split litter from a DH Snow female x DHSnow and DHSunglow males, what is the breakdown on the genetics?

I know what to expect from each dad and we have that. BUT is this also now making them possible triple hets?

The Sunglow is 50% poss het for anery. You will have to call the albino 50% poss het for anery, although it could be a 66er. The hypos are what could be considered possible triple hets since the het Sunglow was the father and the double het snow was the mother. Hopefully nobody else has just posted the same thing before I hit post. Lol

The Hypos should be 66% het albino 50% het anery.

The normals could be 66% albino and 50% anery or 50% for each. Depending on Dad.

The Sunglows are 50% het anery.

The albinos are either 66% het anery or 50% het anery, depending on dad.

The Anerys are 66% het albino.

and the Snow is a snow!

I think I got everything, for safety I would call the animals that could be either 66% or 50% hets based on the father 50% or just possible hets and explain what happened. Feel free to use my numbers.
