The genetics of the different morphs varies.Jaycal wrote:Unless you breed the same color morph to eachother, i.e super red X super red, calico x calcico you will get browns. The dominate gene is brown. So if you take a super red and breed it to blue eye albino you will get browns. Crossing a longfin and short fin you will get a mix of both.
The simplest cross is homozygous normal X true red eye albino = 100% F1 Heterozygous Normal.
100% F1 Heterozygous Normal X 100% F1 Heterozygous Normal = 25% Albino, 25% Homozygous normal and 50% heterozygous normal with recessive albino genes. You can't tell which normal phenotypes are homozygous or hetero without test breeding.
The other morphs seem to be partially dominant so you are back to test breeding experiments.
I have never been able to see what makes a "Green Dragon" a "Green Dragon" but if they exist in long fin morph I suspect that trait is also partially dominant.
Here are my thoughts and opinions.
It can take many experimental crosses to establish the probabilities from whatever stock you are starting out with.

Fish Acclimation Procedure: First, let us know if you can pick the fish up at the nearest UPS Access Point (this is where they must go if shipped during the winter. That is by far the best, most convenient way to get fish. It's quicker, less stress on the fish and you don't have to wait for the driver to show up at an unknown time. Just show up as soon as the tracking shows the box has arrived at the destination UPS location. Bring your tracking # and ID. We address the package to the UPS location, so it cannot be delivered by mistake. If the tracking says "Out for Delivery", it means that it's available for pickup.
Have an aquarium with a cycled bio-filter ready for your new fish. It is best to quarantine your new arrivals from any other fish you have. They are stressed by shipping and susceptible to any pathogens your other aquariums may contain. If you do not properly quarantine them, you will risk having them die. Anything added from another tank to your quarantine tank means that it is no longer quarantined. Just because your exi
