Batch 2 2009 contest fish(apd) x F1 (ogon yellow white x ARSG)

[Eddie]

This fish is very interesting. Appears pigeon based like a blue pigeon and with a red turq pattern. I really like this fish. A tank of identical fish like this, would be really impressive.

Thanks Eddie, if you look at my avatar, the fish you like is the small juvie super-imposed on the mother.

Ha, thats pretty cool. I'd really try to fix that type. I'm sure it would be tough with the variations these 2 are throwing.

Eddie,

My hopes are that the fish we are talking about is a male, in which case I will breed it back to the mother. This should give me a higher percentage of the phenotypes like the one you like. From there I will choose the best ones and then try to "fix" the type.

Beautiful! Any close shots of the RSG from previous, it is my favorite among all these great fish.

How big are they now?

How big are they now?

Approaching 5.5" TL this batch was a little slow growing and a little high bodied. They have been going through a growth spurt as of late however.
