If you breed two short body pink cons together what will be the possible outcome?
This is assuming that Jelly Bean Parrots are short body pink cons.

Short Body Pink Cons

Jelly bean parrots are hybrids between a midas and I believe a severum. Short body convicts are just a genetic mutation of a regular convict.
I think when you're a fish being pink and stubby are recessive genes and two fish with recessive genes cant breed true. Like how two ebjds don't necessarily make more ebjds they just have regular jack dempseys. i believe pink cons are leucistic so not sure how that translates genetically and being short bodied? I was hoping that there might be a possibility of them throwing a few.
Well you most certainly already know more about it than I do and probably the majority of MFK 
Try it and see! You know Cons will breed stubby and pink or not.

recessive genes always breed true if both parents exhibit the trait becuase if you receive a random gene from your mother and a random one from your father and the only genes offered are both a copies of the same recessive you will end up wwith 2 copies of the recessive and thereofre exhibit the trait
NOW if you breed a normal to a pink con(for example as this works with every organism on the planet) you get what is called a het (slang for heterozygeous) this means it carries a copy of the recessive and a copy of the dominant gene counterpart, the dominant gene "overshadows" the recessive and you do not see the recessive gene at all in the outward apearance( Phenotype)of the animal but the genetic makeup (genotype) is different from a true non-het animal that has no recessive gene
those only apply for simple recessives and simple dominants there are much more complicated genes, (such as co-dominants) that are very confusing
i think for example if what you say about EDJD's is true they would be an example of co-dominance (i will explain that if someone wants me to although theres are probably a ton of other people on here who can also explain)
So are saying being pink and stubby are both recessive gene qualities for short body pink cons and they will indeed breed true?
yep leme see if i can pull up a diagram that explains it better than i could in words (called a punnet square)unkle_billy;3986550; said:
EDIT: heres a good picture that shows if you were to cross a normal con that carries the pink gene to a pink one
and then one that shows if you were to cross a fully normal con to a fully pink one
the capital letter is always the dominant gene and the lower case is recessive
the second one is supossed ot illustrate tall vs short plants but just think of the T as normal and the t as pink
i couldn't find a good diagram of what would be a pink x pink but if you look at the first one and swap out the capital Y's for lower case ones you would see that all the results are yy
Very interesting, maybe someone will come along who has bred these fish and can provide some evidence.
