Allot of red pigeons are allot alike but again if you look at an adult Red Melon they really look nothing like a Velvet Red IMO.

Re: Arturo's Contest Fish
There are several white based pb that are not solid white, red/whites and ogon yellows to name a few.[/QUOTE]
Thanks Rick, I know very little about white based, and did not know Red/Whites and Ogon Yellows were white based at all alway thought the were PB's but like I said that is something I know little about.
Re: Arturo's Contest Fish
It will be very interesting to see these guys a year from now, I'm happy you are going to enter them in the Contest Arturo!!!

Re: Arturo's Contest Fish
Updates: First I'd like to mention that the fry is 12 days old, it was never feed with brine shrimp at all I usually do feed my fry with it but this time I was in vacation for a week plus they didn't get wc for 3 days after I got back (5th July) I was so busy so I just start feeding them with some flakes they start eating little by little so i decide to skip the brine shrimp and then i feed them my home made beef heart mix and they love it so here a video of them eating enjoy...

Re: Arturo's Contest Fish
It looks a white diamond but the picture darkness gives the appearance of something else like ghost.
