Convict X

Hi I was wondering if a normal can and a pink con will make some cool pattern
as I have a really nice female con and the lfs has some pink cons in so I was thinking of breeding them to see what patterns I would get
or would I just end up with a batch of half pinks half normal?

You would basically get 50/50. Depending on how strong the black gene is. You may even get 75/25 black. But, in some batches you can get Calico Convicts, which sell for about 7 dollars .

the callico con is awsome looking
well if that can happen than its worth a try

It can. I would just try and buy 2 calico cons ( over the internet) and breed them. Their fry are goign to turn out about 25/75 calico. Then breed the fry of the fry and you will eventually a substantial amount of them.

You would be extremely lucky to get a calico convict from pairing a striped to a pink.

Heres my old male calico, he was the best I had ever seen. I miss that guy
