okay ... no reply as to copying the info but I'm guessing there's no rules about me re-typing it myself so for anyone interested here's what I've learned about my angelfish's genetics
My angels are Smokey Blushing Angels.
For Smokey Angels the genetics are Sm/+. Any offspring would normally be 25% wild (+/+) no smokey, 50% would be smokey (Sm/+) and the remaining 25% would be double dose Smokey - which is normally known as Chocolate
For Blushing - it means they have a double dose of the Stripeless gene (S/S). If both parents are Blushing all the young will also be blushing
So for my pair I get (S/S - S/m/+) x (S/S - Sm/+)
The resulting offspring could have the following variants
S/S - +/+ Blushing 25%
S/S - Sm/+ Smokey Blushing 50%
S/S - Sm/Sm Chocolate Blushing
Anyone following? This is fascinating but very complicated!!
I'll just re-type her what my informer wrote as it explains things better-
In my case, mum is Sm/+ and Dad is Sm/+
An egg will inherit one of mums genes and one of dads, So...
An egg inherits either a 'Sm' from mum or a '+' from mum. The then egg inherit either a 'Sm' from dad or '+' from dad.
If the egg inherits + from mum and + from dad, it is +/+ (no Smokey)
If the egg inherits + from mum and Sm from dad it's +/Sm (Smokey)
If the egg inherits Sm from mum and + from dad, it's a Sm/+ (Smokey)
If the egg inherits Sm from Mum and Sm from dad, it's a Sm/Sm (chocolate)
So the bottom line is - all young from my pair will carry the blushing gene as both parents are blushing but the body colour could be chocolate or smokey like the parents.
I'm now willing these angels to get on and breed and get some fry to survive just so I can see what they look like! I could have a right mixture and not at all what I was expecting - which is a tank full of baby angels that look like their parents.
