severum genetics

[drgnfly829]

just read the sev breeding thread and wondered
gold x green gives green
if you cross the f1 do you get a typical mendelian pattern ie roughly 1/4 gold the rest green?

kinda curious about a turquoise rottkiel cross.....

That would be a severum I would want to have a Turq x Rotkeil.

it might be a worthwhile experiment,
i'm wondering about what the coloration would be given a cross
should obtain viable fry from it, they are close enough
be a year before seeing what the color would be
but the best would be the bright blue of a turquoise with the red band of a rottkiel would just have to be upfront that they are hybrids
or everything could muddy out....

ok this is how i got into this mess lol

that was the initial question phrased more appropraitely

my turquoise male bred with my gold female. but the eggs never hatched. but anyways. i had asked a local breeder how the fry would have turned out. he told me that about 3/4 come out turquoise and 1/4 come out gold. so i would assume a greenxgold cross 3/4 would come out green. not 100% sure tho.

I call dibs on babies!

might as well throw em in a tank and see what happens
now i'm wondering about where the lines are drawn with the various species
so a rottkiel appendiculatum cross would probly be viable
won't be diluting out what's available in terms of pure forms...
so rottkiels are basically a color varient of severus?

It's basic genetics.

The parental generation Green (AA) X Gold (aa) would yield 100% heterozygous (Aa) phenotypically green indivuidals in the F1 generation. The F2 generation would have a 3:1 ratio of green to gold, with 2/3 of the gree being heterozygous and 1/3 homozygous dominant.

I wouldn't get into the genetics of other severum crosses. Hybridization is different than line breeding.
