Electric Blue Acara x Green Terror = Blue Gene Blue/Green Terror?

[benlivingston]

Got a little electric blue acara about 3" now, believe it to be male. Waiting on special order from LFS to arrive with a green terror believed to be female about the same size. Looking to hybridize the two to get offspring with green terror traits that's may posses a 'blue gene'.

I don't have a lot of information on how this gene works (and have a general lack of knowledge in genetics); so does this sound plausible and could I cross two of the F1 generation to produce a fully electric blue offspring (and in what ratios)?

Thanks for any input!*

*Hybrid haters - I do not intend to distribute any of the fish created during this project. So let's just not go there.

Following for knowledge.

Not Sure. Very interesting though...maybe you will get a shiny green color?!? Just kidding, but I mean you could end up with some pretty good looking fish if it works.

I've got eba pair and juvi gts I might try and hybridise them too!

It's plausible, but it depends if the same genes code for the same things in the green terrors. It is likely, but not known. And yes it would produce a hybrid that you could not call a blue acara or a green terror.
