malawi_man Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 I have 1male and 4female electric yellows in a 200 litre tank with some other fish. I bred and raised them myself. They are very poorly coloured. The parents are fine and other fry from the parents are normal as well. One lot of fry was a little pale but I just fed them lots of spriluina and they came right, these ones aren't coming right though. Is this genetics? Any help is much appreiated!

herefishiefishie Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 I would say so. Rumour has it that the males genes are very dominant. You can test the theory. If some batches are fine & some are not. Just try & remember which female fry come from. May help answer the question. Maybe you just need a new male if above dosen't work out. Or could be faulty female..... Which is rare I know :lol: Frenchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
