Hi all,

I picked Paddy up from LFS on Monday (St. Patrick's day, hence the name).

I have no idea what colour he is.

He looks like a cambodian with spots of red on his fins. Thought he could be a marble cambodian, butI really have no idea what he is.

I'm planning to breed him to my dark red girl (small amount of blue in fins) and see what I get. Have tried them together a couple of times but she just keeps laying into him even though she is full of eggs.

Any ideas?

Take care,

Ian :0)

Hi there,

I think this is called an 'orange dalmation' colour type:

I've seen a couple of them in the Auckland LFS in the past year but they're not that common (I think could be wrong).

Hi Mel,

Thanks for that.

I think this is called an 'orange dalmation' colour type:

WOW, that sounds impressive, and there was me thinking he was just a funky looking pet store fish!!!

Heres another pic (showing the damage inflicted by his 'wife').

He certainly looks like the fish in the link you sent.

Thanks again,

Just a pet shop quality cross colour breed. Nothing special about it.

If you like the colour, thats all it matters.

Theres one at the moment in Jansens but a blue version. I quite like this colour.
