Hi bro, if im not wrong... its currently not possible to breed a blue dragon. ( Don't quote me on this though) ... If im not wrong a dragon has to have white thick masking scales covering the body and the fins to be blue to be considered a blue dragon. However due to gene pool limitations its not possible to my knowledge now..

You're quite right. By theory, you can't have blue and white on the same fish as they are of the same color layer, unless marble genes is involved. But introduction of marble genes makes it highly unstable and hard to control

It doesn't work that way. With that kind of crossing you are likely to get mostly metallic green fishes
