The midas "creamsicle" gene?

[gutted]

If you bred 2 creamsicle midas' would the fry be all creamsicle? What if you bred a creamsicle to an all orange one? Would the fry be 50/50?

 

[RD.]

The answer to both questions would be no. There really isn't a creamsicle gene, in A. citrinillus it is referred to as the gold gene. Normal, or barred specimens, and gold morphs, which can range from solid orange/red, to solid white, or a mixture of white, orange, and black. (piebald)

An interesting read on the subject.
