Well first we have to look at the genes of both tail types.
Veil tail, is a dominant gene meaning if you cross it to lets say a halfmoon all the fry would come out to be veil tail (but may carry the halfmoon gene, key word:maybe).
Crowtail, is also a dominant gene just like above your gonna get all crowntail fry.
So to rephrase the question: What would crossing two dominant genes look like, and effect the gene pool?
No I think it would be an interesting combonation and think you should try it. I'm just trying to figure out what mixing two dominant genes will do. Well spawn them and lets find out ;P
Well I'd get to it! Your last spawn wanted to kill each other (but didn't, thank god) so you have an empty spawning tank just saying "spawn, spawn, spawn!!!" ;P
Ok, good luck!
And i did some research, and if you combine two dominent traits, the fry will show a mixture of the two, or display signs of both. If both of your fish are pure, (meaning they have two dominent traits in their genotype) Then all the fry wil be like this. If one has a recessive gene, then 50% will still be this way, while the other 50% carry on that trait. If both parents have the same recessive trait, then 25% of the fry will have and display that recessive trait. (Like if both parents have a recessive halfmoon, then 25% will be halfmoon)So if you decide to breed two of the 'trait carriers' together, then 25% of their fry will show this. If each parent has a recessive trait, but they are different, then 25% will display a mixture of both recessive traits.
I know it is confusing lol. I wish I could draw out some punnet squares to make it easier.
he is taking forreeevveerr building a new nest. its bearly the size of like a quarter now. so probably in like 3 -4 more days he will ahve a good size. but hopefully a lot sooner
im not sure but i think my male is extremely agressive and i think i may give my girls to good of hiding spots. but she is soooo ready, lol and now shes helping build the nest
so shes been in with him for almost two hours now and still no spawn shes not torn up either. and the nest has grown alot. about how long does it on average take for them to spawn?
No a combtail is a crowntail with shorter fringes.
