in general, how does the colorations for apisto such as agassizii or Cacatuoide get passed on to the offspring? for example, if i mate a tripple red male with maybe a regular female or maybe even a wild female, would the offsprings turn out all tripple red because of the male or will the offsprings be mixed with colors of the male and female. is the male gene/coloration dominant to the female? i'm just curious on how the genes for coloration work.
what do you guys recommend using to bring out the redness or coloration in apistos? what do you guys use? i use frozen cyclopeeze for my agassizii but i kinda hate it because it melts pretty quick and some of the cyclopeeze will fall to the ground and go to waste. oh, and i try to give a little at a time, again still falling to the bottom. i also feed them live blackworms. how helpful are blackwoms for coloration and in comparison to cyclopeeze? is there anything else that will float while at the same time help bring out the redness in my agassizii and of course taste good for the agassizii to even eat it? thanks
