Question On Platties

[robertherrington]

Ok, so my female Sunset Wagtail platy gave birth to 8 sunset wagtail fry. the male who got her pregnant was an orange high-fin now I just wanted to see the odds of the next batch looking like the father or will they always look like the mother?
i ask this question to see in my future breedings what the outcome might be

My male red wagtail platy mated with my female blue platy, the first batch 8, were all red (not as bright) apart from a very pretty blue 1.
The second batch (17) were mostly red some with a blue sheen if that makes sense(you had to see them).
Both batches all had the wag tail!! Im sure I havent really answered your question but I guess its pot luck when you mix them.

Pretty little platies! It's hard to tell with genetics- could be luck, or if I'm correct- the hi-Fin gene could be recessive... and if your wagtail platy doesn't carry the hi-fin gene (which it probably wouldn't), you may never get hi-fins in this generation. I was curious to know what the outcome would be myself, seeing I just got 2 hi-fin females. Can you tell at this age that they don't have the hi-fin? I'm not sure at what age that would become evident...

Im not exactly sure. Im assuming they wont be high-fin although it would be nice if they were
