Mr Jeff Rapps wrote a short article in the 1996 July issue of cichlid news on what was then called Cichlasoma (Nandopsis) Managuense "Gold"....,,, he had a pair which he stated in his exact words from the article were' "second-generation" gold derived from gold individuals who parents were normally colored.'.. 'Spawns derived from gold parents display variability in both the intensity of the gold pigmentation and that of the brown and black markings adorning the body and fins'..... so as stated similar to what he did in the past he is now breeding his gold male to the normal wild female and then planning on breeding the male to gold females that result to create the fixed strain..... He also mentioned in the article that the fry are solid pale yellow until they are 1 inch and made a comparison to other species which morph into bright colors but at a larger size in development... in the case of the Jags stated... 'would seem to limit chances for survival in the wild as they would be especially conspicuous to predators'.....
Here are pics from the article....
