I was just wondering...

I have two pairs of
1) Parrot (yellow king kong ish bp (no notch, parrot mouth)) (F)
and Orange KOKy Midas (M)

2) Red Blood Parrot (F)
and Red Labiatus (M)

If I get babies from either of these batches, which would proove the fertility of my female,


what would be the probablility/possibility
of getting fertile males in the offspring?

Could these males be bred back to KKP/BP females to get more
pure offspring?

Anyone who's bred KKP please let me know

thanks

When you breed them like that, they look more like midas/devils instead. Just a little shorter only, so its not the same at all. And nothing about them is pure...
BP/KKP are recreated because they use another fertile male to it(and good luck trying to get a hold with one of these). ;)

I would of course be breeding the best ones back and the families to eachother and other bloodlines.
This is just speculation in the first generation, so I'm just wondering whether, once babies come along I should save or sell off more males.

the Midas is real nice and KOKy, so I'm hoping some good will come of that pair, but from the BP x Labiatus I would expect those to mostly look like rose queens. I'm just doing that because my pair is exactly the same beautiful red colour (that I hope to preserve in the match)

Here's the shape I'm going for if it helps, this little guy is one of my fader males from the batch of (syn x bp) x (midas x bp) that I mentioned.
Here's him at 1 inch

Kind of like a short body midas or a darmo

I like the parrot body with midas face
and Kok potential

I'm not going for anything like a mammon
just some nice fish
and a love life for my devils

Oh also,
I have several youngling of
(Syn x BP) x (Midas x BP) cross.

I'm assuming the females are, but what are the chances of the males being fertile?
I hope good as I have some stunna males

With a Midas and Syn blood, I would expect high fertile rate for the offspring. But I wouldn't expect them to look exactly like a KKP. Possibly if you cross the offspring back into a BP or KKP, you'll probably get more KKP looking fish since the gene of the BP/KKP itself is much stronger. Some even use a Super Red Severum with a KKP, comes out weird looking but Super Red Severum is part of the recipe to a BP/KKP/Mammon. ;)

In the Darmo recipe, there is Midas/Devil being bred into it. As far as Rose Queen goes, I believe they are mixed with a Devil/Midas X Synsplilum.
 
all the offsprings should be fertile
