Hoping for some answers in regards to a recent spawn from my Convicts. My lightly marbled female (see pic below) paired up and spawned with my large male Pink Convict. The batch is still too small to see any definitive markings (still wigglers). My question, should I expect to get any calico cons from the spawn? I thought I remember reading somewhere that the calico/marble gene was dominant over both the pink and black genes. Hoping for some informative and accurate feedback from anyone who has experience breeding this particular strain of Cons.

Below is a picture of the female. Notice the black spotting on the lower half of the body. The male (not pictured) is a standard Pink Con.

I am guessing you will get mostly pink(albino) convicts...........Good looking female.....

That would be a logical guess, but I know that dominant and/or recessive genes are the deciding factor in these spawns.
