Provided the male is full BB and the female is isabel
you will get 100% normal/BB Isabel
Provided you male is full and your female is a FS
50% Silver (SF) /Black breasted Isabel
50% Normal/Black breasted Isabel
(I am guessing your female has Isabel in her)
if the male is split and you use our FS
25% Silver (SF) /Black breasted Isabel
25% Normal/Black breasted Isabel
25% Silver (SF) /Isabel
25% Normal/Isabel
if the male is split the tail feathers will have a white hourglass shape in the pattern
you will get 100% normal/BB Isabel

Thanks, I think I'll order one then!
I have no idea at all of her origins. Her lineage is a mystery. But you know what that means, clutch surprises

Since with the pairing you will most likey get splits...if you want to produce more BB...get one or two males and pair them with your split to BB females.

I'm not worried about getting more black breasts. But how would I get an orange breast if I have a florida silver and black breast, would else would I have to add?

Are you trying to create a bird that is mostly orange from the head to vent?

I have not come by how to create the orangebreast mutation...mot of what I found is using a OB with other mutations to create certain outcomes. It might be easier to find one than create it...Vargur we need your help!!!!!

Re: Anybody Have Black Breasted Zebras, Breeding Them With..
They are lovely birds, I love Almos, I'm sure you have seen him, Vargur's bird. What would you need to get a phaeo? It seems everyone wants a darker bird around here, i.e eumo, black breast, etc. The only way I can see myself finding a different mutation for a reasonable price is always carrying money with me when I go to petsmart. I really should have gotten the ss/ff cock instead of the hen. I thought she was white because the glare from the glass so I wanted her. I got her home and she was silver. I will be checking every weekend when my dad goes to buy feeder fish for a HEALTHY bird at petsmart. Because god only knows what they might have, they have been doing better though.
