I've heard that Calico white level parents dont effect the ofsprings white level

Is it like pied? Is it true?

yes it certainly appears to be random from all I have seen - though some combo's definitely influence the amount of white to an extraordinary level.

I'm talking about spider/ sugar/calico in particular.

Thank you Derek, But in the beginning you said its random and then: "though some combo's definitely influence the amount of white to an extraordinary level.

So which is it? :-)

I don't know much about the calico gene, but even with pieds there are combos that add or subtract white. Cinnamon, spider, and black pastel will give you low white pieds while enchi increases pattern and decreases white.

I wouldn't be surprised if calico worked the same way. A lot of morphs are highly reactive to each other.

I believe you meant to say that Spider, Cinny and BlkPastel give you high-white Pieds ;)

Yeah, this is already kind of known though not really vocalized. YB, hetBluEL, Clown, and a couple others tend to decrease the visual expression of Calico/Sugar. Pastel and Enchi tend to increase expression

I guess listing the combo caused a little confusion - if you remove "sugar/calico" from the sentence it may make it a little clearer. :oops:

Yeah, I did. Must've been a typo. Thanks!
