Dominant stripe?

[Lottiz]

I just got this little fellow from normal stripe+ super tang amel (not het for stripe!)

Dominant stripe??

 

[Stitch]

Perhaps your super tang amel IS het for stripe?

 

[Lottiz]

No, she is not. I know she isn't. And I wrote that in my post too...

 

[Stitch]

No, she is not. I know she isn't. And I wrote that in my post too...

Have you test breed her to be sure she isn't? Every one I have talked to says the stripe is recessive. If that holds true then your female is het. The only other way to tell is to test breed.

 

[spykerherps]

How can you be sure she isn't het . unless you have her parents or grandparents or have info of her lineage from a reliable source

 

[Lottiz]

I got the female from Lotta, Gekkogalaksen. She bought her from Linda, and Linda showed pics of the breeding group (where this female hatched from) with no stripes in. So, no stripes...no hets...

This is my couple and the parents to my striped baby:

and some new pics of the one day old baby:

 

[Lottiz]

I just found Linda's info in a Swedish thread:

the "stripes" come in both recessive and Co-dom format? All you really need is one striped male... if he is a co-dom stripe he will pass it along.

-so...it's dominant stripe?

This is not the first time I've seen mention of stripes being poss dom or codom. Would be interesting.

Edit: Forgot to mention..... Congratulations, Beautiful little one!!

 

[Lottiz]

Thank you, Felicia

What about super tang...it's linebred, so I can't get het super tang. amel, just het. amel?

If i keep this littel one (hope it's a male) to inbreed his mother, is it possible to get super tang amel stripes?

Just because the breeding group didn't have any stripes, doesn't mean that one or two of the animals within the group weren't hets, transfering their "het stripe" to the female you now have.

Either way, very nice little one!

Thanks, he is very cute

But....

Is it possible for a non stripe but heterozygot female to bring this heterozygote gene for stripe to her offsprings? If that's true the amelanistic gene can do the same? A normal fattail (or leo?) het albino can get normal offprings het. albino? No, that can't be true. Depening on the male she will produce eigther amel och normal but no hets.

But if the stripe gene is co-dominant it's true, like mack snow for example. You can't see if the aminal got the gene, but double up the stripe (or super snow) will be visible proved. And a mack snow can bring mack snows, so a unvisible striep can bring unvisible stripes and one day pop! The gene will meet the same gene and go double to show it self.

Am I right?
But Linda says it's enough with one stripe male to bring stripe offsprings and thats not co-dom, but domiant trait.

sorry for my bad english....hope you'll understand something..:main_no:

[GekkoGalaksen]

Our male isn´t het for stripe eigther...but when we breed him to our Striped females, we get beauties like this!

 

[Lottiz]

yea...it's so very cute...

Going on the assumption that the Stripe Gene is Recessive, if two hets are bred together, you will get a small percentage of "normal" looking animals that are still het for the recessive gene, in this case Stripe.

 

[Stitch]

You can breed a het to a non het and still half the babies will be het. You won't know which one is het until you test breed. That is why people sell babies as 50% het and such. Until the striped AFT is bred with a known NON-het striped AFT you cannot be 100% sure that the stripe gene is dominant.

 

[Lottiz]

So, then my female are proven het. stripe?

 

[Stitch]

At this point I would assume the Amel to be het stripe. Until some one can come on this forum and prove that they have a dominant stripe I still believe it is recessive gene.

Sounds about right.
You have some Beautiful animals!!
