Genetics... breeding albino discus....

[Ben]

Ok another tricky question which i do not know....

When breeding albino's can you breed 2 albino's together successfully?
what percentage will be albino?


Also if an albino discus is crossed with lets say a blue diamond,
if any, what percentage will be albino??



As of late i have seen many great looking albino discus around, how many colour type albino's are there?
I can think of only 2.

Albino turquiose and albino alenquer.

cheers,

Ben

Dont know much about discus breeding but isnt albino a recessive trait in all animals, therefore 100% albino offspring.

100%

This is were it gets a little more dependant on the family history of the blue diamond. If it has no parents or grandparents with a recessive albino gene, then none of the offspring will be albino. However if it does have parents or grandparents with the albino gene, and it has progressed down to the said blue diamond (and hasn't expressed it due to being recessive gene) then 50% of the offspring will be albino.
