Hi Eyal,

You should expect to get 50% R&W type and 50% wild base color. The R&W are heterozygous and the wild ones homozygous. You should also get much variation in the patterns of all the fry, red spots, snakeskin patterns and all different sorts.

Good luck with the breeding :)

Thanks for your reply , Rod
Could you explain why I'll get "wild base color"

Because that is what your penang eruption has, no mutations to the base color!
And you are crossing it with a dominant mutant color base discus, and a heterozygous version at that. You will not get full dominance of the white base color gene unless you cross with a homozygous discus (snow white in this case).

Hope that makes sense!!
