    Banana/Coral Glow Question

    Okay, so I've been reading up on banana BPs recently and have seen the thing about male/female makers and was a little confused. I think I've got kinda the jist of it but but the way people word it was a bit confusing so I'm not sure so I thought id clarify as well as ask a few other questions that I was confused on.

    So tell me if this is correct. If I were to breed my male Pastel Butter Congo to a female Banana then the banana males that hatch from that would be female makers and hatch females and if it was switched and if my PBC was a female and the Banana a male then the banana males hatched would be male makers.

    Now some questions assuming I'm not totally off base

    1. Will all the banana animals that hatch be the male/female that was predicted or is it just that the odds are higher to get that gender?

    2. In all the posts I read said that if you breed the male/female maker to a normal then all the bananas will be male/female and the normals be the other gender. Does this mean that you have to breed them to a normal for this to work or were they just using normal for an example for a morph other then banana? Like if I were the breed the maker with a spider or something would this still work?

    I think that's all unless I think of more Thanks in advance!

    everyone seems to have different numbers, but as male maker banana offspring will be male 90%-99% (depends who you ask) of the time. there is a small chance for a female banana still.

    2. In all the posts I read said that if you breed the male/female maker to a normal then all the bananas will be male/female and the normals be the other gender. Does this mean that you have to breed them to a normal for this to work or were they just using normal for an example for a morph other then banana?

    other morphs have nothing to do with banana. still works the same.

    Would be nice to be able to give a specific number but results may vary, my very first male that I used only for one season produced 3 males 1 female, my second male that I used for 2 season and that produced 25+ CG combos or so has produced ZERO females. I have a good friend who's male produced 1 female in every clutch the first season and no female the second season.

    2. In all the posts I read said that if you breed the male/female maker to a normal then all the bananas will be male/female and the normals be the other gender. Does this mean that you have to breed them to a normal for this to work or were they just using normal for an example for a morph other then banana? Like if I were the breed the maker with a spider or something would this still work?
    You can breed your male to anything if you have a male maker all your CG or Banana or combos will be male and my experience has been that the rest of the clutch (non Banana or CG will be females). At least this is what I have experienced with over 50+ hatchlings from male maker. Coincidence???
