  • Xiphophorus Genetics

    I thought I would start a thread about Xiphophorus Genetics. If possible list sources.

    Swordtails:
    Lyretail/Veiltail: Probably nothing new to most breeders, but it inspired this thread. This trait is dominant, but Males cannot reproduce due to their long anal fins, so there are no homozygous fish of this trait. Some people are working artificial insemination to create homozygous females. [TFH Feb. 2008, Glenn Y. Take****a].

    Albino: Recessive. [Swordtails: Keeping and Breeding them in Captivity, Axelrod and Gordon].





    Platy:
    Hi-Fin: Dominant Trait.

    Plumetail: Dominant Trait?
Working...
