Re:Color Inheritance
Excellent info:
I hoped you might be able help me.
I finally got two of my discus to breed, the father I was told is a PB and the mother is a Golden Tangerine.
The babies look roughly 7/8 'golden tangerine' and 1/8 striped, (See pics.)
Any guess to what the father is?

Re:Color Inheritance
Both parents have to carry a red turk or brown gene for this pigeon and golden tangerine pair to produce a percentage of red turk or brown babies.

It would be great to have a bit more indepth info on this subject where possible...
As you know i have to PB's some of the fry have I believe reverted back to Red Turks not sure...
How can you really define the parent proir to breeding, or is this not possible...

Re:Color Inheritance
Hi Carol
Can you advise of any good books that go into deepth in the colour inheritance, and how to cross breed to try and get desired results...
Or is this just something you learn along the way...?

I don't have the ISBN. I believe Oliver Lucanus at Below Water (banner at bottom of page) had them for sale

Re:Color Inheritance
you said that the pigeon gene was dominant....and that peppering was undesireable.
This may be a stupid questin....but this has sparked my curiosity.
Has anyone ever breed for the peppering to achieve a solid black Discus?

I've never seen a picture of one, but it might work.

Re:Color Inheritance
In the original post to start this stream, it is mentioned that f4 genereations and beyond of RSG egress to wavy lines and must be bread back to keep the spots. If RSG is awild variety, why don't you see this in the wild caught RSG? In the wild it seems to me that they breed true. Any thoughts?

Inbreeding is rare in the wild

Re:Color Inheritance
So inbreeding is the key word? Not just four generations of captive breeding but four generations from the same stock results in deterioration of the pattern. Am I following correctly?
