Insanely Ridiculous Convicts I Bred Last Spring

No problem. I used to HATE genetics but when i started studying them i became more and more intrigued by it. It's a little tricky, and READING isn't nearly as helpful has having someone sits down and explain things to you in detail. That's what i found to be the MOST helpful in understanding them by FAR. Diagrams are more helpful than text to an extent, but at the same time can be quite confusing if you don't know what you're looking at.
Wow, Frank. These look incredible! I'm hoping to find some like that soon for a 125.
Thank you, i simply selected 3 super-nice looking very VERY red-infused females from a clutch of Heterozygous-for-Pinks and paired one w/ a vibrant blue male that was also Het. for Pink. This female was the one i personally selected as the nicest Pink from the offspring they produced last February/March. She is pairing w/ a new Pink male as we speak, which you can sort of see him in 1 of the pics. I had to move them yesterday since they went into pre-spawn behavior and decided they wanted the entire half of a 75g tank
Thanks man, it was one of those fish - i was getting tired of Convicts again very quickly - but when she filled-out and colored up, she got me back into them again
well, it didn't take long....moved them into their own tank a few days ago, and there's already a clutch of 60-80 eggs in there. Can't WAIT to see what these babies look like when they grow up
Eggs just hatched in the past 2-3 hours. Seem to be doing pretty good for 1st-time parents, hope this doesn't jinx me. *knocks on wood*
Check out THIS female.....Kittiee Katt
