Blue Snakeskin

[Ron]

Anyone have an knowledge of the genetics of the blue snakeskin. When my pair spawn they produce about 60 percent snakeskin fry. 20 percent of what would appear to be a powder blue or blue diamond fry and another 20 percent are blue with about 7 thick bars. I only save the blue snakeskin fry but I am interested in finding out what the culls are.

The 9 bars are basically a blue turquoise. If the others are solid blue with no vertical (stress) bars then both the SS carry a recessive BD gene.

Thanks Carol

I have a limited number of tanks and I did not want to use them to grow a few of these fry out them to satisfy my curosity
