    Parthenogenesis?

    I don't have pictures just yet but I have a puzzle to figure out. I bred a Mojave Het clown to a clown male but never witnessed a lock over 4-5 sessions. As a backup I did see my banana enchi male lock up.

    The female is a first timer that I bought as a baby and raised up. The male clown has fathered two clutches 5 egg clutches for me and more clutches from his previous owner and he has never produced any Mojave so I don't think I missed a gene there but it is possible. The Banana has produced 3 clutches for me. Here is the weird thing... Of the three remaining eggs (one rotted almost immediately) they all appear to be blue eyed Lucy's without really any doubt. I see all white bodies with slightly gray heads, no patterns on their bodies.

    I was under the impression that parthenogenesis created a virtual cloan of the mother. Is this the case or is it simply two copies of the mother's genes? If two copies I guess I have my answer, and a task to figure out if they are clowns.. Not to mention the hard work of hopefully helping them survive.

    Here is a baby pic of the mother and the two males.
