Question about guppy breeding and coloration.

I'm working on breeding a Tequila Sunrise line with a Crowned Red ThaI Dragon. I recently found out that males carry the moscow gene so you need to breed a male moscow to get the moscow look in your fry. I didn't know moscows worked that way as most places I looked into it claimed the female would throw a varied mix, with no mention of the father carrying the moscow color.

My question is in regards to the mix I am working with, does anyone know what they will throw?

I have Tequila Sunrise males, it's very difficult to find females currently.
Ordering a number of Crowned Red TaI Dragon females to breed with them.

Can anyone confirm what kind of genes the TSM and CRF will produce? Male dominant coloration etc?

Bump!

Moscow is a y-linked gene, so if you breed a moscow male to a non-moscow female you will get moscow sons and non-moscow daughters As for the rest of the traits, can't really say, you're going to get a wide variety of fish whenever you mix strains so different.

Thank you, Ken

It's like how cat colors are linked to the X gene

I have four male tequila sunrise, hoping to use two for breeding. Sadly couldn't find females.
I have one male albino and eight females coming.

Tonight I'll know for sure what I'm getting in crown dragons:

1-4 males and 3-6 females.

Trying to work out the best combination for the fry I hope to raise.

 

You also have to take into account any recessive genes the parents might have that you're not aware of. You may get some surprises lol

I had a guinea pig once named Clyde. Turns out the pet store was wrong about it being a boy, because Clyde had 5 babies. She was a black and white smooth-coated piggie, and was in a cage with several smooth-coated males. 4 babies were white with black or shades of brown. One was long-haired and was calico!
