RETF Breeding Question

[LilyPad]

I know that albinos will breed with with common morphs, but will leutinos breed with common morphs?

[Mentat]

Think all color morphs of a same species will breed together .

I figured that, I just wanted to double check. Thanks Carlos

Yep

Further question, what will you get if you breed them together? A blended morph? Or half leutinos and half normal?

[BArnold]

Well with my basic genetics understanding the dominant genes will usually appear which would be an either or combo. Such as, it will be a regular green RETF but it will carry the albino allele. There are rare cases where chromosomes can cross and a combination such as a mix of the two could occur. I have three regular RETFs and I want to get two albinos and one lutino, it would be interesting, if they breed, to see what kind of tadpoles came of it.

I just have another question...I know that cross breeding between darts is bad bad bad. I actually just learned this recently as I've never done a lot of research in the dart world. Does the same thing apply to RETF morphs? Or is there a difference because these are the same species, just different morphs among the species?

Red eyes tree frog morphs are fine, such as standard greens, albinos, xanthics, blacks (purple), and pinks
