I have a great line of very short tails and another great line of kois and emperors. I'm just starting a line of chest fluffs.

Ideally I'd like to get the very short tails and chest fluffs on the kois and emperors. Obviously I need to breed them together but was wondering if anyone would like to share any secrets that might help?

For example, would I have a better chance if the female has the coat and the male has the trait or vice versa? Is there a great chance if personalities or eyes are an exact match?

I've noticed that personality often passes with coat but that doesn't really help when pairing :)
