I'm very interested in these, Do you know how much your going to ask for these, and can you ship them?

I'm not sure how much I will be asking yet, I'll probably be auctioning them on aquabid as I get a very low percentage of these (6% theoretically) per spawn. I can ship anywhere in the U.S.
 
So, can you differentiate between the theoretical 4 different colors at this point? Have you isolated the 1/16th that are gold/blue?

Yes, I have separated all of the gold/blue fish into their own tanks. Those are the tanks that I am showing in my pics. I can tell that there are standards, blues, golds, and gold/blues in each spawn at about 2-3 weeks old.
 
Just finished reading through the whole thread.
Very interesting stuff. Like everyone else i'm real curious to see how these turn out.
GL with the little ones.
Have you come up with a name yet?
Subscribed.

I've always expected a specimen that is expressing both Blue and Gold (Leucism) to be Gold (Leucistic)...

Leucism is (by definition) a reduction in pigmentation... and the Blue color is an expression of pigmentation...

So (theoretically) a Blue & Gold speciment, will be a Gold Dempsey with some possible Blue hues...

Nice it's nice to see someone has put the theory to the test...

My thought too. If gold is epistatic to blue, all doubles should look like gold.

The practical question is, without a marker, how do you tell which ones are doubles? Have to do a backcross I suppose....so you'll see it in the next generation.
