New project - Going Red

[Elite Aquaria]

I don't think Dan or Wayne feed them enhancers. 3R2 are very red fish.

The fry have attached.

Bugman and Arjunpun

The female 3R2s are very red fish, when breeding their color gets even redder than normal. These fish have been feed a mixture of Shrimp w/Beef heart. I added 1 TSP of Pure Spirulina and 1 TSP of Pure Natrurose per 1lb. This has been feed 2-3 times per week.

Congrats on the fry. Remember I get first dibs on them when you sell them...

It was a very small spawn and I only ended up with 9. Started out with about 20. I never saw the casualties. Here they are at 4 weeks. One albino and 8 intermediates.

hmm they have bars??

Can intermediates have bars? The male is albino and the female is intermediate. I'm not that up on genetics but I thought this cross could only produce albinos and intermediates. Is that not correct?

[Eddie]

Yup, intermediates. They are basically the non albino form with albino genes.

Thanks Eddie. After Jennie posted it I questioned because the intermediate mom does not have bars.

Yeah, it is strange indeed. Wonder what the parents were to the pair.

The bars can come from the albino or its parents. Albinism doesn't allow the fish to show its bars but it will still be passed on to the heterozygous offspring.
