my ebjd x bgjd spawned for the second time, first time female ate all fry so this time when i saw the fry i took the parents out and now they are about two weeks old, they all look like little zebra(stripe markings on body) fry lol, should they look like this? sorry im just new to this,

here is my male i got from a fellow member here and female is just regular looking jd, i tried to get pictures of the fry but my camera is low grade and cant capture the fry yet
he has more beautiful patterns on face and body, i will try to get better pics

yeah thats fine most fry of CA cichlids will look that way until they get a little bigger and their stripes start to fade/spot to what they are supposed to look like as adults, i think its a camouflage thing, a bright colored tiny fry would not survive long in the wild lol
