Making a punnet square for a flowerhornor hybrid

[gamerpond1]

I've always wondered is it possible to make a punnet square for the offspring of two different species every time I try and find one I always come up with interspecies hybrid examples which is exactly what im not looking for but for example how would you even go about making one say for example my male silk and my dragon female had 150 plus fry of that there was one half black, 10 or so shortbodies, 20 semi shortbodies, 25% with extreme pearling of which some almost covering their head 50% of those with red other half not so much, 25% with a fair amount of pearling those same with red about a half split, and about 50 % looked like normal flowerhorns not alot of pearls not alot of red with markings and kind of plain looking so my question would it be possible to find out ressesive and dominant traits between two flowerhorn or two different species and put them on paper in a punnet square to give a close guese to what genes from two different species would give you besides accounting for genetic mutations like the blood parrot from a syn and a devil

One more thing would be finding out which is heterozygous or homozygous the only thing I could find for a close example for such a complex punnett square is this site on a albino prodject with ball pythons but is still one species

I feel your pain, I have longed for such a resource. But I believe the very nature of our hybrids prevents it from happening... The genetics seem to be so scrambled, so variable. Even when the same cross is done twice, results can be so different. In my opinion their genetic structure just isn't stable... I have tried to quantify certain things, but it seems hybrids obey the laws of genetics...until they don't.

Don't get me wrong, certain things can be bred for, short bodies, pearls, Kok etc. The simplest method is to just use stock that have the desired traits. And that's where it becomes less of a science & more of an art form.
