Tang. Bell X Tang. Bell

[Nahph1]

Does a tangerine bell albino X tangerine bell albino = more tangerine albinos or can you get Bell Sunglows from this combo?

You should get some nice tang bells. If either of the bells has less spotting the offspring might as well-sort of line breeding the less spotted ones together to get the hypo look. But for a bell hybino you need to breed bell x super hypo het bell and hope for a hybino. The hypo gene sort of washes out the tang, so the more tang both parents are the more tang the hybino will be.

Thanks Marlo, that makes sense. But wouldn't you have to do bell X tang. het. bell to get tangerine bell's as well?:main_huh:

Not sure what you mean. If I bred two bells that were more tang than say a yellow bell that I had, the babies will be more tang/ tang bells because of the tang influence that was introduced some where in the line. Some bells and bell hybinos are already pretty tangy. But if you wanted to add even more tang, yes you would breed a nice dark/bright tang x bell, then breed the nicest het to a tang bell for more tang. Is that what you mean?

I guess what I'm wondering is, to get a hybino from tang.bell parents you would have to introduce a hypo tang. het.bell?
I'm confused because I thought that to get a tang. bell you would of already introduced the tang. into the mix.

A hybino is a hypo albino created from albino x super hypo het albino. While tang was already introduced, the babies from the tang het bell would give hybinos as well as tang albinos and also normals. So those tang albinos are just that-tang albinos-no hypo involved. Some of those hybinos would be pretty tang and from there you could line breed them to get really nice tang hybinos if you wanted. But breeding two tang albinos won't give a hybino. You might get limited spotting pending the parents, but it's still not a hybino.
