Is there such a thing as marbled HRP?

[darth pike]

Yes, which is no longer an HRP at that point. It's a con/hrp hybrid that won't be marbled. Many generations you can get the marbling sure, but it's still be a mix, not an HRP.

If you want to marble and HRP, do it the same way they did with the convict. Get plat HRP's and breed a lot of them until you can pick out the mutants that don't fully express the plat gene and start line breeding them to fix the marbling. Then you could say you have a marbled HRP instead of a hybrid.

Thought about that. I guess I'll do that then. Thanks

The platinum hrp is leucistic like the pink con right?

The marbling gene is not a variation of of what causes pink cons. You can't selectively breed a morph that removes pigment to have patches of pigment. that's like selectively breeding albino to be black, it can't happen. The marbling gene is separate. If you had a con that was both pink and marble, it would look like a pink con. If you inbred hrp enough you might get a marble type gene to mutate. But its highly unlikely. you would probably get many mutations that disfigures them before you get lucky with a color mutation.

I already know that. I was asking about the platinum gene. Is it the same as the pink con meaning is it a recessive gene?

i believe so , regardless of being a hybrid , it may take generations but it is doable on some level.

Alright thanks. I just had some hrps spawn and im hoping to get platinums.

Breeding a marble con with an HRP will result in a hybrid (Amatitlania nigrofasciata x Amatitlania sp. "HRP").

I have no doubt that they will breed.

Whether (a portion) of the resulting hybrids (or offspring of the resulting hybrids) will have marbled coloration is possible.

My question is: Why?

And, if you do this, please, please, please don't sell the offspring as anything but hybrids.

Never said I was gonna sell them. Just thought they would look really cool of they had the hrps blue color mixed with the marbled color of the con.
