Please post only if you have firsthand experience with breeding Marbled / Calico convicts, either directly, or observed.
Is there a such thing as a Black/White Marbled Convict? (Must provide a photo.)
With all the questions that are surfacing, I want to create a FACTS section for this, without guesswork, without speculation. Eventually, I hope we will have a clear map of the genetics behind these guys.
FACTS ONLY please. I want to look for patterns.
I'll start.
My pair: Male Marbled, Female Pink - One batch of fry so far - Almost all fry are marbled, with a few all-pink. Will set up a few different back crosses in a few months when they are big enough.
My friend's pair: Female Marbled, Male Pink - Several batches - None are marbled. All are pink. (I just emailed him to see if he had back-crossed any, and if he did, what the result was.)
