    What would I get?

    So I found someone with a proven 100%het albino male bp and I was wondering if I were to breed him back to my 50%het albino female what would I get?

    Hopefully a nice healthy clutch of eggs, j/k you'd get Albinos & hets

    Re: What would I get?

    if the poss het proves out you could get albinos, hets and normals. the problem is that there is no way to know if the normal looking offspring are hets. you may get an entire litter of normal looking babies that may or may not be hets. so even if your possible het is in fact a het the first breedibng may or may not tell you anything.

    Well if she produced an Albino in the clutch you would be able to change her from a 50%(possible) het to a 100% het.
    you could get
    Albinos, Hets or normals if she is in fact a het. If she isn't a het then you would get hets and normals (hence 50% het)

    The whole %het doesnt mean its a het per say. 50% or 66% het are the chances of said animal being an actual het. 100% het means it is a het, anything else is just a possible, a gamble.

    Again like with every other similar questions you recently ask about recessive pairing it will depends whether or not the possible proves out.

    If it doesn't you will get a 50% Normals + 50% Het Albinos since you cannot tell them apart all the offsprings will be called 50% Het Albinos.

    If the het proves than you will hatch 25% Albinos + 50% Het Albinos + 25% Normals all the normal looking offsprings are than call 66% Het Albinos

    Those odds are per eggs.

    I'm sorry if this is getting annoying, I just want to be sure about what I am doing with my $$

    i think if you want to produce albinos you should save your money and buy a visual male. that way even if the female doesn't prove out you can be sure that all the babies will be %100 percent het. not only that but visual albino look awsome. i know i never get tired of watching mine.

    Id say its worth being able to prove out if your female is a actual het or not.
