Figured out why my 210 gallon tank has been so active lately.

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
umm the genetics there are wrong?
orange would be dominant (R) alelle and barred would be recessive(r) alelle
 
what if a large mouth bass and a gar could mate , i bet you that would be one scary lookin fish , btw nice fish
 
My red devils coloration changed until they hit around 4 inches or so. They had black splotches on all of them until they matured and now are the usual orange color.
 
Thanks for all of the responses. If by some chance any of the fry make it I will set up a small tank for them long enough to grow them out a bit before giving them away or taking them to my lfs. Most likely they will be eaten before I have a chance to remove them though. :(

More then possible. Will likely end up as barred devils until about 7 inches, then turn gold/red. The red color in devils is incompletely dominant(one dose=late color change, double dose=early color change).
Seeing how you get half the total amount of chromosomes from each parent which then combine and then are present in the offspring, I don't understand the 'dosage' either? Unless you meant when you factor in the other parent if it combines to make DD (just a random assigned letter here) you get early color change, where as if it's Dd it occurs later? in either sense though, you can't have "double dosages" from one parent though, and there is still the possibility that either parent has the recessive gene as well and that both could pass it making it dd... thats the best I can make sense out of this.

Lowcel, nice tank, nice video, how do you like that gg?
 
The giant gourami is pretty cool. I had no intentions of every getting one though, I only ended up with this one in order to save it. Someone decided they didn't have room for it so they dropped it off to a shop. They were keeping it in a 20 gallon tank and then contacted me since they knew I had a decent sized tank. I'm a sucker so I accepted it.

He doesn't really cause much trouble and the other fish don't mess with him too much. He does eat a lot though, which means he also poops a lot. My filtration seems to keep up pretty well though so he's really no bother.

Definitely not how incomplete dominance works.
 
lol yeah that would explain the extra aggression
