con x pink con

[devder1]

Asuming the striped parent is carrying the recessive gene for golden ( leucistic) which most striped cons usually are.

IF the striped parent is homozygous for striped coloration then ALL offspring will be striped But ALL will CARRY the recessive gene for leucoticism, as long as one of the parents are 'golden'. Meaning that the next generation will produce 'golden', unless again it is mated to a homzygous striped, producing ALL heterozygous for striped coloration.

Cons, for the most part follow simple Mendellion genetics; though of course ,many genes control coloration, one way or another, and enough breeding betwen striped and golden COULD conceivably produce a "calico"' convict ( marbled).

dude wtf is golden, b4 u go dropping some gregor mendell knowledge on us learn the difference between gold and pink

If the striped is homozygous dominant (AA) all the fry will be heterozygous (Aa) and will show the striped phenotype.

If the striped is heterozygous (Aa) you'll get a 50/50 mix of striped heterozygous (Aa) and pink (aa) fry.

Golden = pink = leucistic

It's a pretty controversial thing to hybridize cichlids. Personally I wouldn't breed your Convict with anything. Just keep it a convict.

Maybe I truly am a n00b but how is breeding a convict with a convict a hybrid?

the ones at my lfs use to have some barred white ones with like two tones of white is that weird?

those are my baby cons in a fry tank, and the bramd new batch of babies in the tank with them
the parents are a striped and a pink

 

[devder1]

as you can see in the 2nd and 3rd pix the fry are striped

That just means your striped was homozygous dominant (AA). If you were to breed your fry you'd end up with 25% pink.

If someone has a heterozygous convict (Aa) they'll get half striped half pink.

I have had several batches of offspring and you get mostly black but you get a few pink no mix. my pink male is impressive looking long fins and nice nauchal hump
