Recessive genes, body types, and fish! Oh my!

I bred a genetically pure pink tailed "Redtail" male to a genetically pure white tailed "Tuxedo" female. All of the offspring had the Tuxedo body type and white fins.

I bred a genetically pure pink tailed "Redtail" female to a genetically pure white tailed "Tuxedo" male. All of the offspring had the Redtail body type and white fins.

Conclusion:
1) Pink fins are recessive to white fins.
2) Body type for "Redtails" and "Tuxedos" is sex linked to the female.

I'll soon have the world's first Pink Tuxedo. :)
