Got The Albino's Brothers Today

[Synirr]

WOW. Ok, so I ordered two males from the same spawn as my albino since he's too blind to spawn (LOL), and I'm really speechless at how beautiful they are!
BOTH of these bad boys are getting bred after I move August 5th, that's for sure. They are SO handsome

Turns out, judging by the finnage of the males, they are only half CT (the other half probably being delta), but who cares... I'm really breeding for the albino geno anyway, and then I might cross them to my plakats for that gorgeous marbling! I'm guessing the breeder was outcrossing his CT line for more rays, since he has some REALLY nice CTs too.

First male -- I'll get better pics once they settle in

The second stunner

And the dorsal-less girl for Rynoah

Here are the two sisters of the albino I'll be breeding the brothers to:

Fatty overate today

pretty. they don't look like plakats, though.

 

[Synirr]

That's because they're not
I never said they were, I said I might breed them into my plakat lines for the excellent marbling. They're supposed to be CTs, but my bet is they are CT x delta.

 

[bUcky]

thye look like delta and ct to me. if one bother is albino does that mean they all carry the albino gene? so if you had 2 siblings spawn then even if you dont have an albino you would have fish with 2 times the gene?

then if you imbreed enough eventually you would get an albino right?

this will be cool to watch!

 

[starrynightxxi]

hmm... i'm remembering the albino with short fins. i don't know if i'm mistaken about that or not, but that's why i was surprised to see brothers that aren't plakats (even though i know it's possible). How many generations in do you have to go to get the straight plakat lines back?

Not exactly... 2/3rds of all his siblings carry the gene, so it's a numbers game. I'm betting that at least one of these two males is a carrier, and I'm sure at least one of the females is. To get albinos, I need to breed two carriers together. If 2 out of 3 non-albino siblings are carriers, that means my chances of getting albinos in my first spawn is 4/9 (the chance of me randomly picking two carriers.) I'm going to breed both brothers, so my chances are basically 8/9 that I'll get albinos in one of those two initial spawns. Pretty darn good odds . If not, though, I have 4 females to choose from for mates.

If it turns out neither of the males are carriers it gets a lot more complicated, but doable. God forbid I'm that unlucky!

Nope, the albino is long-finned (Dominick in the sig). Maybe you got confused because he is young and his fins aren't filled out completely yet? To my knowledge these fish aren't plakat geno, but it's possible I guess. If I were to outcross them to plakat, which I very well might do, it would take two generations for me to get plakats again, and three generations for me to get a 100% plakat spawn

The last pic is gorgeous

 

[Rynoah]

Oh my, that second boy is a real beauty! Those two girls are gorgeous, too! And I'm glad to see the little dorsal-less girl has made it through all right. Can't wait to see her in person!

 

[Joby]

Gorgeous new additions, can't wait to see what comes out of the spawns

She's REALLY adorable in person, I think you're going to like her. She looks like a little goldfish without the dorsal

 

[Naughtygirlrlw]

Gorgeous, all of them!

 

[juliehainsworth]

Wow Synirr those are all gorgeous! Cant wait to see/hear about the outcomes of your spawns with them!

 

[catxx]

STUNNING little fishies! really looking forward to seeing these spawns! even if you don't get albinos, you're going to have some super cute marbles!

is the dorsal-less one one of yours synirr? was she just a freak out of a spawn or are we going to see a new type of betta now haha!

 

[RESGuy]

Very cool Bettas there Nice find

 

[Loko17]

Wow, I love that albino girl. Its too bad your albino boy is too blind, did you ever get a spawn out of him? Because I remember you were attempting a while back. Or did it not work out because of his sight?
