    Re: What do we know about breeding Bananas?

    The problem comes when breeding male coral glows. When you breed a male coral glow to something, it appears all females are coral glows and all non coral glows are males. This could easily be explained by a sex linked trait, since males are assumed to be the same chromosome animal (unlike humans which the female is)

    The problem that kills the theory is that very rarely, the male coral glow will make another male coral glow. The ratio is so low, it doesn't really seem to make much sense with what we know right now.

    so thats all I know and we're stuck at "we don't have a clue whats going on" Unless someone has more info?

    I have heard the same things, males do pop up from male bananas but it is very rare. The female bananas on the other hand produce normal ratios of male and female.

    Either way they are just an awesome morph
