She's dull in pics bc just laid fat load of eggs lol
Nice, marbled is next on my list of production - i have a different male and female showing minor black patches on the Pink so i figure a generation or 2 and it will be marbled if i linebreed the ones with patches
Nice man yah I'm sure That's the way to go, i bred my pink female with black male a bunch of times and I always just got all blacks
marbled/piebald is a line-bred characteristic, not a recessive or dominant trait. Pink is recessive, therefore you need
A.) 2 Pink parents to produce ALL Pink offspring
B.) ONE Pink parent and ONE Heterozygous for Pink parent to produce 3/4 of the offspring will be Pink, the remaining 1/4 will be Heterozygous for Pink
C.) 2 "normal" (only by appearance) Heterozygous for Pink parents will yield 1/2 of the offspring will be Pink, the remaining 1/2 of the offspring will have a 66% chance of producing Pink offspring I.E. 66%-Heterozygous for Pink
D.) Breeding a Pink parent to a normal NON-Heterozygous parent will produce 100%-Heterozygous for Pink offspring
E.) Breeding a normal (only in appearance) Heterozygous for Pink parent to a normal NON-Heterozygous Parent will produce offspring w/ a 50% chance of passing on the Pink genetics. 1/2 the clutch will and 1/2 will not, however there is no way off knowing which ones carry the genetics for Pink until you breed them.
In other words, you need to breed the offspring you already produced to each other or back to the mother
Nice con Frank! Now we just need to work out how to sneak her past customs so you can send her to me! 
Nice convict. But I don't believe it's true that all piebald fish are line bred? Amphilophus Sagittae, while extremely rare, have been found in nature with the piebald characteristic out of Lake Xiloa.
linebred just means basically "a variation in appearance that has no Heterozygous-recessive or dominant/incomplete dominant form of genetics" in a nutshell.
Those sagittae are a result of the species line-breeding itself in nature. Remember line-breeding takes many forms, and doesn't necessarily mean INbreeding
