Ancistrus sp. Albino1 X Albino2 "Again Already"!

[rcbows]

I have bred another female Albino BN Pleco to the male Albino BN Pleco in my last post on this subject.http://www.planetcatfish.com/forum/view ... =5&t=41058

This time it produced all brown BN's and know Albino's. How should I proceed with this breeding should I consider the male Albino Gene 1 and female Albino gene 2 as separate genes and can I use them to separate the genes of the Albino 1 & 2 into two different gene lines. Or am I just grasping at straws here, for no good reason.

Also should I save the young from the previous breeding that gave me 25% Albino young for any good reason, or just send them out with the rest of the albino BN's.

I don't want to sell a pair to someone and they end up producing no albino offspring, because they are different genes and not breeding true.

Any ideas from anyone with more genetics knowledge than me would be most helpful.

Doesn't anyone here have any knowledge about the (2) albino genes, and how to tell them apart?

If there was a way to tell by looking at them, there would already be an article on it. It is why there's so much argument and dissension about the origins of the common bristlenose in the hobby. Sorry!
