Did the mother make it? If not, that complicates (none / 0) (#2)

things. I tried skimming your previous posts and while I know it must be there somewhere, missed the characteristics of the parents. Would you provide a run down on them again? Who was albino and who was lyretail?

Thanks

the male and female were brother and sister exept the female was regular and the male was lyretail, the mother had been pregnant before but it was with regular babies and she had had about 7 spawna and the last one was mainly to eggs, then she had the albino babies and there still to this day is no albinos but i know the strain is in there so im going to keep breeding this strain because the grandmother had the biggest lyretail i had ever seen which appeared in 2 of her granddaughters and one of the grandsons, although the female that gave birth to the babies was the sister of the regular tailed albino female and the lyretail albino male.

the lyretail albino was the only male she had been in contact with for like 3 months and she had finally gotten pregnant, she dropped about 40 babies but because of her age about 3/4 of them dies with in 3 weeks. right after the birth i put the lyretail male in with the babies and he just started acting different he was never the same since he had seen those babies, with in 2 weks he had died, i guess he felt that he has served his purpose. He wouldn't breed he would eat swim poop thats it no will to do anything.

about 5 days before the female gave birth i bought 4 more albinos one male and 3 females, the male was a regular but for sure he was not the father, he died just a few weeks ago for unknown reasons.
Right now i am in the process of trying to make f2 albinos from the 2 lyretail albino carriers.
