Any ideas what are these?

Is there any potential for these to be incredible fish?
Can I assume the dark one will always be dark?
Does anyone recommend culling for large batches?
And finally, would I do best to breed these fish with one another or should I cross them with something for a better result?

I agree, but no, the dark ones don't always stay dark.

Dark ones not always dark, very good then I'll keep an eye on that one.
These guys are actually escondido x blood parrot. I'm not sure that the blood parrot in there was an improvement. Not to entirely discredit my fish I wouldn't have them if I didn't like them.
