Paradise Fish

[blue_betta]

my local has blue and albino, i was looking at a blue male and albino female, with the possability of breeding them. whats the likely outcome? any info on their breeding is appreciated, i undestand they breed on similar lines to siamese fighters (which i do breed)

I don't know anything about paradise fish genetics, but I've never heard of an animal in which albino was not recessive, so you can probably safely assume that it's recessive in paradise fish. That means that if you breed them, you will get all blue fish carrying albino. If you breed two of those fish together, you will get 25% albinos. So... it will take two generations to get albino fish. But then if you breed two albinos together, you will get 100% albinos.

I hope that helped!
