Granite question

choppergreg May 09, 2011 09:31 PM

I never worked with morphs. I aquired a Tiger Retic recently. I was thinking of trying to produce Borneo Bateaters. I was wondering if Granite is a co-dom gene like Tiger. Have these been produced yet. If so can someone please post a pic. Im sure it is not easy. to cross breed, let alone get firtle eggs. Ive been kicking around the idea for a while. I also am hesitant because I dont know if there is any market for them??????

Granite is NOT co-dominant in burmese. Assuming it is also not co-dom in retics, if you were to breed a tiger retic to a granite burm, 50% of the offspring would be Tiger Bateaters het granite. If you were to breed two of these Tiger Bateaters back to each other this should be the morph distribution (someone double check my math):

3/16 Bateater (66% het Granite)
1/16 Granite Bateater
6/16 Tiger Bateaters (66% het Granite)
2/16 Granite Tiger Bateaters
3/16 Super Tiger Bateaters (66% het Granite)
1/16 Super Tiger Granite Bateaters
