Pelvicachromis pulcher albino genetics

[Woody]

I have two breeding pairs of albino kribs, one pair throws nothing but albino in their offsprings, the other, the male has a nice strip of blue in him, thow some normal colored fry and also albino. As the fry are growing some are quite dark stripped. When looking from above the difference is quite noticable, but now that they are getting some size to them, 1/2 inch, it is showing clearly from the side.
What is the genetic makeup of albino kribs and what can I expect from these fry? I look forward to seeing them at mature size with mature coloration.
The male has a strip of blue on the anal fin, very vivid, especially during breeding, and I wonder if that will carry over to the normal colored fry.
Anyone have any experience with this.

Thanks

Woody

You'll find an excellent article on what you need in the Dec. 1982 Buntbarsche Bulletin (#93): Albinism in Pelvicachromis pulcher by Dr. James Langhammer. It should be available on the ACA's web site.
