Gendered cg/banana inheritance in combos

[Lizardlicks]

I want to throw this out for the more experienced breeders to look at, and offer advice about/poke holes into (lol). I think I’ve locked down a project schedule to get the result I want, but the complicating factor is the weird sex inheritance in coral glows/bananas. In order to get the morph combo I’m aiming for, I need to be clear on how this inheritance works.

So to recap my understanding, the trait of cg/banana is, for lack of a better term, sex-linked. Males produced from a female will continue to throw more females, but if they throw a male, that male will put out predominately male offspring. That male is often referred to as a male maker.

Now this bit is where it gets tricky. I assume, unless someone wants to correct me, that this inheritance pattern continues into combos, ie a male maker who is het pied when paired with a pied female will turn out male cg/b hets and cg/b pieds, while the normal hets and pieds in the clutch can be a mix of either gender.

I know the general rule is “less expensive female to more expensive male” but in order to pull off the end result I want, I might have to break it. What I would like to have is an enchi cinnamon banana pied. What I have currently is a female cinnamon pinstripe. My plan is as follows, assuming the odds gods are benevolent:

Male maker cg/b het pied x enchi pied female = cg/b enchi pied male
Cg/b enchi pied male x cinnamon pinstripe female = cg/b echi cinnamon het pied male (possibly with added pinstripe)
Cg/b echi cinnamon het pied male goes back to the first enchi pied female, and fingers crossed, we get the enchi cinnamon cg/b pied (with a couple bonus add on options like pinstripe or super enchi).

Feel free to start punching the holes now XD

OH NO....its the cg/ banana conundrum..... That topic makes my head hurt... I have a male banana, and I'm good with what ever i get from him... The prices are so low on them people who want to use them in their breeding projects, should just buy a male and a female.... IMO...

Well I don't particularly NEED a male and and female, just one boy to get the job done right the first(ish) time. Actually, thinking about it, having the trait sex linked kind of makes it EASIER to predict the combo I want being the gender I need, I just have to make sure I got all my ducks in a row. I don't really care about the price, I just love the look of pied and enchi cinnaglows, and I want to see them combined

That's simple, their popularity hasn't gone down much, the price has gone down because the supply has caught up with the demand and now you have more people than ever who couldn't previously afford to get into the project now doing so. I might get one at some point, but its not that high on my priority list. unless I stumble across one that I can't pass up.

Good luck! you might want to start making some offerings to odds gods right away
