Darren and Rod, great looking fish. Can you provide a little more about the genetics?

Adrian,
the father was a golden melon the mother was a albino alanqer,I let Rod explain more he is the genetic expert !


cheers

Adrian,
I let Rod explain more he is the genetic expert !


cheers

Yeah right Darren, expert i am far from, but the albino gene being resessive is pretty basic stuff so maybe i can give it a go....

Exactly as Darren said, albino alenquer x golden melon. The melon is brown based (no pigeon gene). Next generation if inbred will give some albino's, and with some luck some goldens too and hopefully they will all be solid red types :D

They look well settled mate :)

[Kenny's Discus]

Nice work Rod and Darren! Best of luck to you both with those beauties!:)
