So i've had this HRP for 6 months a real personable guy the only thing is he lacks the common convict striping or at least it is super faded. I got him a girl a few months ago and introduced them last month, They already bread and he acted like an excellent protective father. Even this tho he only got about 3 bars. I don't really care all that much, but, do you guys think it is genetic? i assume if something was bothering him he wouldn't have had a good spawn.

Idk if it's just me but I can't see the image :/
 
Here are some pics of ones I had. One pic is a pair w/ fry. All had some stripes. Not sure why yours doesn't, but nice looking HRP!
