Guanine-less stickleback


These are normally pigmented siblings of the fish below












Gaunine-less stickleback. This appears to be a random mutant that has shown up in this cross. My guess is that this mutation is recessive and these few fish have "hit the jackpot" and have inherited two recessive alleles for this trait. My plan is to grow these fish out, breed them and try and make a stable line.
