As in do they have some blue on them?  I'm never sure cause I'm partially color blind so I don't know if its just my eyes playing tricks on me.   #5 EasterEggs Total Posts : 1946 Scores: 19 Reward points : 735 Joined: 9/22/2011 Location: Saskatoon, SK, CA Status: offline MBI: 590 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Snowflake/Snowcasso Discussion Saturday, April 20, 2013 5:28 PM (permalink) 0 Oh yes, nice Snowflakes have quite a lot of blue.     A terrible photo, but you can see the blue quite well here...

I know selective breeding plays a huge role in most of our designers but I'm curious about other genetic variants that are being worked with.   #7 Fishtal Total Posts : 5467 Scores: 37 Reward points : 2909 Joined: 8/31/2006 Location: Waterford, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 585 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Snowflake/Snowcasso Discussion Sunday, April 21, 2013 12:45 AM (permalink) 0 The person I was talking with wanted to know what percentage of the offsping showed the SF traits and if they ever produced anything like Platinums from Picassos. Also, what is the outcome if one or both parents are Snowflakes. http://www.fishtalpropagations.com/#!home/mainPage "Making captive breeding easier."   #8 GreshamH Total Posts : 757 Scores: 16 Reward points : 600 Joined: 4/27/2011 Location: SF Bay Area, CA Status: offline MBI: 0 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Snowflake/Snowcasso Discussion Sunday, April 21, 2013 3:31 AM (permalink) 0 I've never heard of Fish Eye Aquaculture... can anyone tell me more?  Their website is just a placeholder.   www.fisheyeservices.com   #9 EasterEggs Total Posts : 1946 Scores: 19 Reward points : 735 Joined: 9/22/2011 Location: Saskatoon, SK, CA Status: offline MBI: 590 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Snowflake/Snowcasso Discussion Sunday, April 21, 2013 9:58 AM (permalink) 0 Originally Posted by Fishtal The person I was talking with wanted to know what percentage of the offsping showed the SF traits and if they ever produced anything like Platinums from Picassos. Also, what is the outcome if one or both parents are Snowflakes.   My pair are ORA line.  The female has normal barring (although who knows if she came from a Snowflake parent or not) and the male is a Snowflake.  I have only raised one batch from them, with a new batch just past meta.  So far they produce about 50/50 Snowflakes of varying degrees.  There were two in the first batch that were "Extreme" Snowflakes.  Those were as close to Wyoming Whites as they produced.   I have a percula pair as well.  The female is ORA Picasso and the male is a wild Onyx (although his black coloring is like a normal percula).  Their first batch is just past meta, in another week I should know if there are any Picasso offspring.  I can't tell yet.  I am expecting (and hoping) for normal colored percula, Onyx colored, Picasso, and Onyx Picasso.  If only I could be that lucky.  Don't let fear and common sense stop you! =]   #10 aomont Total Posts : 774 Scores: 0 Reward points : 1003 Joined: 2/12/2011 Location: Rio de Janeiro, RJ, BR Status: offline MBI: 5 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Snowflake/Snowcasso Discussion Sunday, April 21, 2013 3:47 PM (permalink) 0 Originally Posted by GreshamH I've never heard of Fish Eye Aquaculture... can anyone tell me more?  Their website is just a placeholder. www.fisheyeservices.com   He is around here: Jonathan Foster or hyperboy http://www.mbisite.org/Forums/showprofile.aspx?memid=1422 Anderson.   #11 pearson21 Total Posts : 2 Scores: 0 Reward points : 62 Joined: 9/25/2011 Location: Thornton, CO, US Status: offline MBI: 0 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Aquarium Society of Colorado Re:Snowflake/Snowcasso Discussion Monday, April 22, 2013 3:01 AM (permalink) 0 SF are certainly a favorite of mine. I was wondering to what extent the variants are. Would/could the markings get to the point similar to platinum pic? I've seen some of the "extreme" white bands, but not much further. Also, to me it looks more like a charcoal color between the bands. Much like a blackish scale with a whitish scale overlapping.   #12 hyperboy Total Posts : 107 Scores: 2 Reward points : 367 Joined: 3/8/2011 Location: Dade City, Florida Status: offline MBI: 1575 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Snowflake/Snowcasso Discussion Monday, April 22, 2013 8:34 AM (permalink) 0 Originally Posted by GreshamH I've never heard of Fish Eye Aquaculture... can anyone tell me more?  Their website is just a placeholder. www.fisheyeservices.com   Jonathan Foster FishEye Aquaculture   #13 JoeDigiorgio Total Posts : 278 Scores: -1 Reward points : 823 Joined: 2/6/2013 Location: Ft Lauderdale, FL, US Status: offline MBI: 145 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Snowflake/Snowcasso Discussion Monday, April 22, 2013 10:31 AM (permalink) 0 I know there is a breeding journal in process right now by Freddie focusing on a snowflake pair. Both parents are snowflakes and they produce viable snowflake offspring. So that answers part of the question.   #14 mike13oy Total Posts : 83 Scores: 2 Reward points : 820 Joined: 7/10/2011 Location: Pearland, TX, US Status: offline MBI: 120 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Aquarium Societies of North America Re:Snowflake/Snowcasso Discussion Monday, April 22, 2013 11:55 AM (permalink) 0 I get 50/50 snow from my male snow X female regular Ocellairs. I get 50/50 snow from my male b/w X female snowflake. I get about 60-70% snow from  snowflake parents.   #15 joebean Total Posts : 50 Scores: 4 Reward points : 357 Joined: 2/24/2012 Location: Quebec, QC, CA Status: offline MBI: 0 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Snowflake/Snowcasso Discussion Monday, April 22, 2013 12:53 PM (permalink) 0 I think the most interesting bit of info would be if both parents are snowflake does it yelds more extreme barred fishes   #16 GreshamH Total Posts : 757 Scores: 16 Reward points : 600 Joined: 4/27/2011 Location: SF Bay Area, CA Status: offline MBI: 0 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Snowflake/Snowcasso Discussion Monday, April 22, 2013 1:05 PM (permalink) 0 Originally Posted by hyperboy Originally Posted by GreshamH I've never heard of Fish Eye Aquaculture... can anyone tell me more?  Their website is just a placeholder. www.fisheyeservices.com Well hello  Sorry for living under a rock    #17 Online Bookmarks Sharing: Facebook Digg Google del.icio.us StumbleUpon
