This may be a very simple question to answer but oh well. I just separated a pair of my convicts into a 55 gallon tank... 3 inch pink female and 4 inch black male... how do I know what the likely hood of getting pink offspring is?
cichlid genetics?
- Thread starter catfishkemp
- Start date
this is what i was told last but IDK?!

Unless the black female carries the pink gene, all of the offspring will be black. If two of the black offspring later breed, one fourth of their fry will be pink and the rest black. One fourth of those will not carry any recessive gene for pink, but will be visually indistinguishable from the ones that do carry it.

thats not necessarily true i had a black and pink pair and when mine spawned they had 50% black 50%pink as they keep spawning its going to change maybe 75% black and 25% pink or vis versa
