    Re: Interesting Twist on Toffee Project

    Hi,

    Thats the problem right there.

    We know toffees look like regular albinos at birth - but that they colour up as they age. So do toffino's from the pictures on the bush league.

    So at hatching you have 3 seperate genotypes that look completely the same.

    One worth $16k and one worth $400.

    So you have to wait until the colour change to start. Then you know it is either the pure toffee worth $16k or a toffino - but not which one.

    How do you, as an honest seller, deal with that?

    And how do you think the dishonest scammers will deal with that?

    I'm as curious as everyone else to see what a toffino bred to a normal can produce. Just to rule out or in seperate gene locations combining to make a super.

    Also a visual toffee to a visual albino should also clarify things a bit I think after a few clutches.

    Or am I thinking about this wrong?
