Topic: Convict coloring.

[Lovesmydevil]

I have a pink convict breeding with a black con.  Will some of the babies be mixed or will some just be pink and some black or w/e else.  replys are greatly appreciated.

really all depends on what genes dominate.
 could be blacks,pinks or possibly even marbleds
You'll just have to wait and see

you can get blacks,pinks ,some that look grey and maybe whites - either a mix or couple be all one color,% will vary by clutch.

It's highly doubtful that you'll get marbleds though,marbled appear to be a different genetic screwup

OK, well that explains why I got no marbles

Yeah you need to start with a marble somewhere. (or get real lucky)

The reason pinks will split is, pink (hypomelanistic) is a co-dominate trait.

Marbled is thought to be a form of pied/piebald  which is a recessive trait - recessive triats need to be present from both parents to reproduce.
