    Lightbulb What do you think of this pair?

    Hi,
    For future breeding, I am wondering if this pair is a good idea...
    It is a Red Marlboro x Red Melon.

    They both have very minimal peppering and that is just on their noses and tail tips. They are beautiful fish. Is it a good idea to mix them? They are both red so I am curious to see what happens. Here are pictures. The male is dark red, the female is the melon.

    The pictures are right after a water change so they are a bit stressed. If you want to see better pictures of her you may want to check out Pimples and Not Hungry in the disease section.

    Thanks

    They're fine. Both the Melon and Marlboro are PB based.

    +1 You may see some pattern emerge in the offspring as Marlboro's can have some striations. The red base should remain with the fry.
