If pink is not dyed colors into them and is not recessive the chances are that you make zebra convict. Try making a punett square with your data and study.
 
Nope. Go look up Punnet Squares. It's not difficult material. We learned this crap in freshman year of high school when I was 14. I'm sure even you could wrap your mind around the concept of basic genetics. It's not that difficult. But because I know you won't look it up...

NM = normal coloration
pk = recessive coloration (pink)

In order to show the recessive coloration, the fish must be homologous for the trait. (pk_pk)

Your fish would both be (pk_pk) since they both show the recessive color.

Punnet Square:

pk pk
pk pk_pk pk_pk
pk pk_pk pk_pk

Go read a book.
