Pet Forum / Aquaria / Cichlids / June 2004Predicting offspring color
I remember tables in HS for predicting offspring from 2 different plants or parents. Hoe does it appy to a batch of Severum eggs? The female is Gold, the male is green. Isn't it something like the 1st batch is 100% the female, the next is 25% male etc etc?

I think it depends on the dominant gene. In this instance the dominant gene will be green so most of the fish in a spawn will be green, followed by some which will be a mixture of green and gold and the least number will be gold. If you take one of these fish and breed it back to the mother then the mix will change as it will if you breed back to the male. This is how you get different colour combinations in the same fish. I don't know if this will explain it better. http://www.geocities.com/TheTropics/Lagoon/1517/color.htm SignatureE-Mail:- news@ftscotland.co.uk Website:- http://www.ftscotland.co.uk Looking for a webhost?

I wonder if the mix will always be the same with egg layers? Livebearers seem to be mother dominant, with the father coming through more in the 3rd batch, but they continue to carry the sperm, so that's different I think?
