darkfur Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Hi all and especially Alanmin I have 5 baby chinese fbn larvae, they are only about 3cms long, and I have noticed one is a different colour from the others. Perfectly healthy and all as far as I can tell, but 4 are black and one is a mottled brown (kind of like a "black" axolotl, if not lighter). I doubt I can get a pic. Is it usual for chinese fbns to vary in colour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 They do vary a bit. I have mainly black (with red bellies) Japanese and now and then there are young like that ( I have 3 at present). I also have chinese that are still small but were reared from eggs and have always been black. As well I have some Japanese from Matt that were reared from eggs and have a very distinct red line down the back of the tail and part of the back and these were that colour before they morphed. I don't know if they are from different parts of Japan or just colour morphs but they do seem to vary a bit. The young that are that colour tend to be more red when morphed.
