In order to produce a coral

If you bred an anery, a snow and got a ghost. The ghost should have anery, hypo correct? Now if you breed the ghost to an amelanistic what are the chances in getting a coral? Although coral ghost was what I think I was aiming for.

If you breed an Anery and a Snow, you'll get all Anerys het Amel. So in order to produce Ghosts, both the Anery and Snow have to be het Hypo. Probably not unusual these days.

From those first generation Ghost offspring, Ghost (Anery Hypo) x Amel will give you all Normals, het for Amel, Anery & Hypo. So you won't get any Coral Snows in the second generation.

However if you breed two of those offspring together three years after that, you statistically have a 1 in 64 (less than 2%) chance of producing a Coral Snow in the third generation. So pretty long odds and quite a long wait to see if Murphy's Law decides to leave you alone!

And it also needs to be said that not all hypo snows have that lovely coral peach/pink color. Some actually look just like "typical" snows. For example:

There's definitely more to it than just combining hypo, anery and amel genes. That was just what everyone assumed what was at play, or took it at face value when those working with them told their "recipe" when in reality most of them had no clue what made their line of snow more pink than others, or had some clue but didn't want others to know...

What does your holdback ghost look like?

I will try to take some pics tomorrow., sadly the father snow was very pinkish and due to having several males, he was one of the ones that I sold last year.
