    Yup compared to the other 2 fry i got from the other female.

    They seem to have dark coloration. Even darker than all my other fry.


    Ps: its the darker female's fry.

    Interesting, they do carry a black Moscow gene. That is why the males color up all the way to the head.

    Pulled 13 more fry from the blues tub this morning they were hiding in the plants.

    And i turned my old 4ft into a devided tank so i kan separate the fry sexes into they're own tanks. For growing out.

    Okay so i am pretty bummed.

    My 1st 2 fry turned out blue bodied with a yellow and RED tail. It did not turn blue as expected it turned RED.

    I will take photos tomorrow and post.

    But on a side note the 2nd batch of fry are showing blue tails and fins which i am stoked about!
