    Thank you
    in 2 months from my last post it was a big change on how they transformed. I can't wait to see how they turn up too in the next few months.

    Ohh! I don't know how to judge either. I just love the shape on that one. It has stronger red color than the pic I posted, it's still at 10 months I think(from my post here. So yeah that said to my eyes its show grade

    Sanjay, are the fish tending more toward orange rather than red?

    Wow beautiful Fish! Congrats on your success! How many times did your pair try until you had success?

    These are gorgeous! Also, maybe these are what Forrest refers to as Rafflesia crosses!

    What's most interesting to me are the pictures of the entire spawn. Clearly there are some with bars and some without. The segregation pattern indicates a rough 1:1 ratio of pigeonblood to non-PB. Obviously one parent was originally PB and one parent was not. The ratio also suggests that PB is a semi-dominant trait (otherwise it would have been a 3:1 ratio). It's not clear whether one or both parents carry the gold gene.

    Nice going!

    Thank you ! I think 1 attempt only, male previously had good success with another female.

    Thank you Willie, I should correct this, I mistaken the female to a golden rafflesia but its actually a Yellow Panda (PB based) the fish with bars in the tank are from a different pair
    I'm happy with the outcome from this pair however, have very clean fish and no trace of peppering.
