genetics for dummies

["Vern Wensley" <vernwen@home.com>]

Hi all.
My rio mamore are on thier second spawn.I have heard that you get both red
and blue tails from the same spawn.My spawning male is red tail.Is it
possible to fix the red so you get 100% red tail fish from one spawn?
If you spawned a few females to a red male and took females from the spawn
that produced the most red tail males and bred them back to the father would
you be going about it the right way?
I would think that by the time to got close to all reds that it would be
time to add new blood and you would have to ruin all your work to this
point.Genetics is not my stronge point so this might be the totally wrong
way to go about it.Anyone with more knowlegde have any thoughts on this?
Vern
