: : Can anyone explain (or theorize) as to just HOW I ended up with NON-tuxedo Sky Blue guppies from all-tuxedo lineage??

: : Until someone pointed it out, I hadn't realized that this was the case.  I went back through my breeding notes -- and sure enough!  Definitely descended from Tuxedos.

: : Any thoughts/comments?

: Well...

: According to the inside of the CD jacket the X chromosome (female) contains the "Body colour and pattern (Tuxedo etc.)"

: There is also a statement saying "The guppies that are included in AQUAZONE are not "pre-settled". You will find that some German Tuxedos may have, for instance, a patterned tail."

: The previous two statements being said, I suppose it is possible that one of the females "Tuxedo" guppies off the CD did not carry (and therefore could not pass on) the Tuxedo trait.
