This maybe silly question.

DAD = BD
MUM = LSS

PHEW!! :shock:

Now there's a question. It really depends on the parentage history. I have bred SS to SS, and you would think that you would get all SS......nope!

Genetics is not my strong point, Andrew has section in his book on genetics I think, I am sure he could nail it. My last batch of fry, from a Penang Eruption x Premium Leopard SS, threw from 90 fry, about 30 SS's and a varying range of fry with 9 bars.
Unless you know the fish has a true line you cannot predict, only guess, this is why the large breeding farms spend so long to develop a line and why the good fish are so expensive.

Hey, it will be a happy suprise whatever you have :D
