Convict breeding questions

[scubasteve06]

Hey guys...my cons have gone into breeding mode a couple questions. I have a female pink con, and black male con...I've heard things about marble con offspring??? Could this happen..? Here are pics of their pit and the two frisky parents.

Added: Mods I wish you all would do something about this new version of mfk it is ridiculous that it takes me 10 tries to upload a picture now and half the time I can't even upload them what a pile of crap.

Not so sure that works to cross reg with pink to get marble.

You mean marble like this?

I have another one as well. Both females. I like the other one more. She is a grey calico con but is camera shy so I don't have a good pic. Looking for males to make some more

Jeez with all the posts in the 'other' convict breeding threads you'd think I'd get some answers to whether or not they will be marble

I really don't think so. I believe the marbles come from many generations of selective breeding to get the marbling. But I could be wrong.

I had a pink female and a barred male spawn. I ended up with both barred and pink cons but only about 20% were pink cons. I also get this same results with my barred pair (80% barred and 20% pink). With my pink pair I get all pink fry.

try to spawn the 20% of pink to the parent and see what happens

I vote we stop cross-spawning Convicts because there's enough 'variations' out there as is
