What's behind the white stripe ? Anything ?.

[Gazz]

Is it just somthing that some fattie's have ?just somthing mother nature gives some fatails.Did it originate from a localy pacific fattail race ?.Are they in nature two fattail sub'spieces ? but aren't reconnized in the hobby ?.

i dunno but i believe you can find striped ones in the wild and the gene is a simple recessive

 

[PaulSage]

I've heard that it's recessive, but I'm still not 100% sold on that idea. I'm just not sure how it could ever be proven considering that it is so prevalent in wild populations. All I know (from my own few breedings) is that stripe x stripe has so far yielded 100% stripes.

The stripe may brake the shape of the body up making the stripes harder for predators to see which is how a recessive trait like that could be more common in the wild then 1:4.

 

[HepCatMoe]

what about stripe x normal?

all normal?

 

[robin]

het stripe ?

 

[Intense Herpetoculture]

Yes, many WC animals come in with the stripe.

het stripe ?

Dominant maybe possible ? i have a white stripe female that came from a white stripe male and a normal female ? mum may have been het but the stripe could also be dominant ??.

 

[robin]

i dont think it is dominant, from what i remember it is a recessive trait. damn gonna have to call kelli to find out lol

 

[Intense Herpetoculture]

It was proven recessive.

I got a super tang. amel female with a striped (normal color) male.
Will the offsprings be double het amel and stripe?

From what being said yes :main_thumbsup: but bare in mind your amel female may well be het white striped already with out you knowing it or do you know her breeding history ?.

 

[Cory]

recessive yup

 

[Lottiz]

No, I don't know her back ground, more than she is from Linda C.

This is the first baby, hatch out an hour ago:

 

[Cory]

[HepCatMoe]

You can enjoy this while waiting
No 2:

I'm going to the hamm show in Germany in September. Alot of US-breders are at the show so...maybe a little double het. fattail can hitchhike?
