Ya, hopefully it’s not a case of that “white eye is infertile”. Don’t believe in that honestly.
Not not a 100% certainty but it is more likely then not. Generally speaking ya have about a 65% chance of it being infertile and a 35% chance of it being fertile. Granted ya won't know which one ya have until ya breed him a handful of times and even then it could just as likely be the female that's infertile or both of the FH's.

If the females infertile does it mean she can still lay eggs but the eggs are bad or that she can’t lay eggs at all. Had a fader that wouldn’t drop vent so thought she was infertile.

An infertile female can still lay eggs and breed like normal but none of the eggs will become fertile. Generally speaking an infertile female usually knows that the eggs are bad and will just eat them after they have been laid but not always.

Ahhhh thanks, hopefully she’s fertile then haha. Tried 2 other times with a kamfa I have but I just put it off as him being too young at the moment.hopefully that’s the case at leastAA7497C2-2B76-4C37-812E-D177DE0E0F38.jpeg

O nice looking one there. Nice pearling and definitely beefy. Almost looks like a kamfa/red Texas cross.

Wanna eventually cross with that one but he’s still too young considering kamfas reach maturity later. I appreciate all the tips everyone!

If he is a white eye, just quit now. Your chances are super slim at being fertile. No wasting time trying to breed him if you already tried multiple times with no luck. Red eyes have a higher percentage of being fertile but still a hit or miss.

Will eventually try with my Thai silk if he’s infertile 3A646706-2A4B-4A9C-A7E5-9F81ADDA848E.jpeg
