Punnett square problems

[Mr.longfellow]

I am new to this punnett square thing, I will soon be getting a pair of jungle pastels so i thought I would try a square on them. when I was done the it said 50% JP(jungle pastels) 25% PP(super pastels) and 25%JJ I dont know what JJ stands for unless its like normal jungle.

Hi,

I think, from reading that, you have entered jungle pastel as a combination morph rather than as the name for a single co-dom morph (pastel).

The "classic jungle" pattern is a seperate look that, as far as I know, has yet to prove genetically inheritable and is thjought to be caused by egg stress.

"Jungle pastel" however is simply an older name for the pastel morph.

So your punnet square should have the parents both listed as nP and np where n= normal.


So;

25% np = normals
25% PP = super pastels
50% nP = pastels

Er.... I think.
