    50% albinos and 50% hets. They may or may not fade more than average.
    What are these mojavas I keep hearing so much about?

    but will the hets be for the faded gene or the normal gene ?
    and will the albinos have the gene for 100% faded or not ?

    that's with good odds

    Good luck on the pairing if you're planning to do it!

    I don't think it's a guarantee that they will carry the faded gene. If your het was also a faded albino you would have better odds.

    Re: for the experts

    The faded albino could be a result of the parents' normal color and concentration of xanthiphore, or it could possible be an actual genetic trait. Only breeding will give you the answers, but I would guess that the faded albino is just a regular, faded looking albino, and that the babies would be normal albinos, that will possibly be lower contrast that the average albino, but that would likely be the result of selective breeding and not a true genetic mutation that is any different than the average albino. If it was, the normal het probably wouldn't be compatible with the faded albino.

    yes i know but i dont got a het faded albino
    but i got a 0.1 het albino

    i think i just need to do it and look out for it i suppose
    but i really want to know how the faded gene will merge in the normal one, couse i want a 0.1 faded albino for sure

    well, the faded albino is a proven gene so,

    i'm just gonna risk it but i'm still with the question will the albino's have the het for the fader or not
