F1 - 3 Distinct Phenotypes

 Golden Pheno

  One of the largest. You can already see its ventral fins.     At this point I think it's safe to assume that if there were a black layer it would already be obvious.

 

The Cambodian Gene

C c

The cambodian gene is a recessive gene  that determines whether a betta will or will not have the black colour layer.

Mom's alleles are in pink, dad's are in blue.  

 cc x Cc = Cc,cc

Cc = 50% dark bodied fish, carriers of the cambodian gene.

 cc = 50%  Cambodian

c Cc cc

  Cambo Pheno

To the naked eye that blue irridecent mark at the base of his caudal is invisible. From experience I can safely assume this fry is cambodian.  The cambodian gene is recessive therefore both parents must carry the gene in order for the trait to show.  I can now add "cambodian" to the Known Geno(s) column for my male as I already know my female is cambo geno.  .

Dark Pheno

 Much like the "golden"  with a more distinct dark  layer and center line. This fish is NOT cambodian as you can see there is a definite black layer
