Was just curious if these babies will turn out like the parents or be of the nornal strain? I love this type of Red Point. Gorgeous colors.
Leucistic HRP's with fry
- Thread starter driftwood
- Start date
yes they will be wight i think unless they carry other genes mabye they can get molted like convicts i think you need a normal one a wight one to make marbles but wierd stuff can happen
I've tried counting them and its impossible. Looks like over 100 fry easy. They seem to be good parents.
The fry will be leucistic if both parents are, I've got 3 broods of these beauties now. Also have leucistic x normal, all of which look like normal HRP.

yeah, both parents are Leucistic. I sort of thought they would all be white but i thought i read somewhere that Leucistic was sort of a sporadic accurance.
Hi Driftwood. I asked Jeff Rapps about these when I first bought them, he says they were a spontaneous mutation but occurred in more than one pair of normal HRP. I assume from this that the leucistic gene was present in a fish (wild?) used as a source for commercial breeding stock and now it surfaces from time to time as related fish are bred back together.
