brother bear Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 Hi gang i've been browsing aqua bid and drooling again i was wondering what your thoughts are on these type of betta's, is there a call for them in OZ i don't want shell out a $150 bucks if i can't sell the off spring would you need a giant female as well or could you use a standard female, is giant gene dominate or recesive BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 i know nothing about the giant gene... although if the price was right i would definitely love to have some giants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celeste84 Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 the giant gene is thought to be mendelian (sp?) in the way it passes along. i.e a full giant has two giant genes (GG), if you breed with a normal female (gg) you'll get offspring that are 100% half giants (Gg) as it's a co-dominant gene. breed them together and you'll get 25% giants (GG), 50% half giants (Gg) and 25% normals (gg). that said, not enough's known about the giantism for us to be 100% sure that's the way it works, even though we're pretty certain and yes they are sought after!! i had a pair of giants and they were beautiful! sadly i never got fry from them but i currently have a 1/2 giant that i'm hoping to get full giants from in a few gens that said i wouldn't shell out $150 for them when you can get them for as low as $40 on aquabid if you keep your eyes open :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettarazzi Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 I don't think selling them is going to be the hard part :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 so theoretically, two giants would produce 100% giant offspring? and the offspring from that would also produce 100% giants as well? i would definitely pay 40, not 150 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
