Krib genetics?

[nonamethefish]

Is the number of ocelli on a males tail controlled by genetics, is ocelli dominant, subdominant, or recessive ot the no ocelli gene?

I believe it's dominant. I've read where selective breeding over several generations resulted in 4 and 5  "dots" on the tails...regardless of gender.

I have a male with no ocelli on his tail.and a female with 1 on her dorsal.



I have personally never seen a 5 ocelli(on tail) male, fact is the most I've seen is one on the tail

Is having ocelli a desirable trait?(seems so to me, and it is in my eyes)

Are there any populations of krib in the wild(excluding other pelvicachromis species) that naturally have no ocelli?
