My pearl Albino

[pulchra]

Hi guys I just wanted to share some pics of my albino. Can't wait till he is mature enough to breed.
I also got 2 female split pearls and one male split pearl. Those are a biit bigger than the albino.

Beautiful fish. I'm curious what it's offspring would look like.

Thank you Ed204. Yes me too. I am feeding them 3 to 5 times a day and they eat like beasts.

He was also very beautifull.

Are rays the same as most animals?
If the ray is albino, any offspring would be 100% het for albino, but unless the mate holds the albino gene, you wouldn't get any visible albinos.

Breeding the albino back to a het albino would give you a mixture of visible albinos along with non visible which carry the gene?

I bred snakes for years, and know how the mutations and genes work with them.
I assume it's the same for all other animal's, but not sure.

I got 2 females with the albino gen.
So in theory the offspring of albino male x pearl split (albino gen) will result in 50% of the pups albino and 50% split pups.

This might be interresting for you.

If both parents are albino what’s the probability?
