Are mermaid scale color genetic?

I haven't played with mermaids a lot, but want to do more of that in the future. I was wondering however how merm genetics work in game. Like for example if I have pink mermaid tail and blue tail, will the colors pass down onto the children? Or will it be like a random roll or something and it's somehow yellow?

  • It's been awhile since I had merbabies in my game, and I didn't have very many... but in my experience, tail scale colors were not genetic. IIRC, I got the orange preset for male children and the pink one for females.
  • I don´t think so? I actually had only 1 mermaid baby (because mermaids needs annoyed me so much). Her parents got turned by mermaidic kelp, her dad´s tail was turquoise, her mum´s purple, but little Ariel got pink scales. She inherited her mother´s hair colour, though.

  • I also just got orange scales, but dad's were mint. I think orange is one of EA presets?
