Does anyone know about the dominent genes in swordtails. I have one male, hes orange with a bit of black spots on his back end(no this isnt a fungus, his his natural markings). Then I have two females. One is a deep orange/red and the other is yellow with a red stipe down her side. Any idea what colors the babies will turn out?

there's no way to determine the dominant genetic traits of a fish that has cross bred with bunches of other swords for a great number of generations. these fish have a mix of all manner of genes. if you started with wild fish and maintained a genetic breeding program designed to bring out a particular color or size for example, then you could determine dominant genetic traits.
