Nice ! You can see the colors they will be already !
Looks like a good mix of black and gold ..Maybe more black then 50/50 ?
I hope some turn Pitch Black for you ..
Tons of bbs feeding. Daily water changes-

The golds will not produce Pitch Blacks if bred to each other but will if bred with a black .
They used the golds to strengthen the blood line since they were massively line bred and also like the double dark angels to remove the markings the original ram had .
60/40 is good .Over 50/50 means the black is dominant .I would guess one quarter of the blacks could be Pitch Black or dark ?
Lol Peewee!! I've actually never been one to back down from a challenge or something new. I just have had no fish other than discus for the previous 12 years or so. I got a couple other pair of rams from Tom last week but realized after seeing these pitch black rams that I had to get some!

That's funny but I grew the pair ! And many more !!
These guys are tough to breed if they don't want to cooperate .I am whipped by my fish since I have rams for 7+ years so what most people think is extra or double duty is just what it takes if want success.
I really love breeding fish especially when I working fish few others have .I am very quality focused so those who get my fish get very good fish .
Really great group you have! Toms rams are the best!
I am growing out a large group of his EBR/GBR hybrids at the moment. They appear to be much more robust than the last 3 spawns of fry I have raised of the blacks.
Looks like I have some golds in this mix as well.
Congrats and great job!
