Potential match question

[Mark_L]

One of my sons recently got a hypo blood red (or diffused - not sure which term is preferred here). He/she is a sweet little thing and now my younger son wants a corn as well. He isn't sure what color morph he wants yet and seems to have some flexibility. Although we don't have any specific plans to breed corns now, that might change in a few years so we are going to be sure to get the opposite sex of what ever the current corn is.

My question is what would be good potential matches for a hypo blood red with unknown hets to produce a neat mix of babies? If my son decides he wants something other than an hypo bloodred, from my understanding of corn genetics we should look for other morphs that have hypo or blood red or are het for them correct? Any other thoughts or things we should consider?

Thanks

You have it correct. You want an animal that is het for diffused and/or hypo. Anery and Amel are common 'hidden' hets, so an animal with those traits would also work.

For example... a ghost het diffused, a snow het hypo, a ghost bloodred, a fire, etc are all good matches to try.

My bloodred proved out a surprise anery het this year. His breeder had no idea it was in the line. So he is a bloodred het hypo, charcoal, anery.
