    Nice pups indeed Keith. A few things on the brown based reds. You will find it can take as long as 9 months for this phenotype to get it's adult colors and possibly Halo's. When deciding on which ones you want to keep, if your planning on mating the siblings, be sure to keep a few of the ones that tend to be more brown than red. Typically these will be the males, and if you only pick out the redest of the batch, you might very well end up with all females.

    Thanks,Rick.I've got about 20 I'm almost ready to start picking,and I could have seen the rookie mistake of picking the redest.

    I plan on growing them all out Rick, I've got an empty 72 they'll grow into eventually. Just sort of depends what the pairs do when the next move will be. Still trying to decide if the 4th red is sick or just that much different from the other three. I'm on about day 9 of the metro treatment...plan to go 2 full weeks. Not seeing the real dark coloration I was before treatment began fortunately. Maybe I've got 3 males and a female.

    I haven't spent a whole lot of time observing that, but I've seen it hit heart and FBWs on 3 separate occasions over the past few days.

    I belive the dosage on the metro is 5 days.WP would go 10,and I do the same.14 might be excessive.The only time I would maybe treat longer is if I was doing a group of fish,and into the treatment,another one seemed to be infected,then I would re-start the count.

    I'm between 10 and 14 somewhere now, so I guess I could call it quits.

    I added a picture of the fourth red to the original post. It was in the hospital tank getting metro when the rest were moved. Sticking the same picture here so you don't have to go looking for it after reading this post. Also a couple tank shots after adding the eighth fish. You can still see it's a little darker than the rest, but maybe it's just always going to be that way.

    Red 4



    A few group shots.

    That's what Jeff's calling them, not me. Kenny sold them as Red Cover/Virgin Red F1 crosses, so at least when I'm not drinking in Jeff's presence I guess I'm calling them F2s. Of course since the F1s turned out to have a recessive golden gene in them I'm not sure what they should be called. The goldens are what I really wish I had a good name for. Red Golden Diamonds was tossed out as one possibility by Rod, we'll see what he thinks when they grow out and color up.
