With an Orangefaced Opaline Peachfaced, the only mate you should use would be another Peachfaced. Masked is a different species and the babies would definitely be hybrids. Breed this one to its own species. :)

Yes. Anything that is visual will be passed to the offspring if you pair him with a regular female Peachfaced. If there's any hidden genetics, depending on what you don't see, he can pass those, as well. For instance, if he's carrying the gene for Ino and the hen isn't a visual Ino, all Ino babies would be genetically sexed hens. Pairing him with regular Peachie hen will also produce strong offspring. :)
