Yellowbelly x ? = ?

[dr del]

Hi,

Doesn't this disagree with your YB x OB = Graphite idea though?

GRAPHITE-We produced our original grahite male by breeding our orangebelly male to a wild yellowbelly female. This same year we traded some orangebellys to Mike Bell for some albino balls. Mike raised those and produced ivories one of which has graphite speckling although not as extreme, it is still a graphite. So for him ob x ob made a graphite. Last year we bred our graphite male to one of his half sister orangebellies and produced 2 graphites. One was a very nice male that we sold to one of our friends, and one was a female that was not very extreme, that we kept. We have eggs again from that same female bred to our graphite ivory male, and I am sure we will have graphites again this year. All of this leads me to believe, that the graphite trait lies within the original orangebelly male that we imported ourselves. All of the non ivory offspring that our graphite male produces look like orangebellies as well. This year should clear a few questions up and should be interesting.

Our graphite last year made a paradox animal when bred to a normal, as well as another ivory type that we called an ultra ivory. Neat looking little critter, almost looks like a superstripe ivory(pics are on our site)-more questions and less answers, but that is why I love the entire yb complex--it is truly mysterious. We have graphite x superpaintball eggs incubating as well as graphite x 2 other dinker females that are very awesome--hopefully we will see some other neat stuff.

Ben,

what do you think the odds are with a OB sired by the graphite,to produce anothe r graphite with a yb of another line,or would best resualts be a pair of graphite sired ob?

guessing from just looking at what has been produced so far, and how it has been produced, I would think pretty slim, but honestly I dont know for sure. I think more will be revealed this season though.

And a couple of threads on spectres;
