Female Hoffa cichlid is almost white...why?

[badazz07sti]

Here is my jag x dovii hybrid. She's a little over a year old. My question is where is her color? Father was a jag and mother was dovii. Both parents were beautiful. She's very active and more of a glass banger than my 9in male dovii. It's just odd that she developed almost no color at all. Albino without the red. What do you think?

No idea but she looks cool. If you want her darker, try darker substrate and a black background

the sand is making it look light. darker substrate/black back and she'll darken but it already looks good

She definitely looks cool do you have any of the sibling left? Would be interested if they all turned out like her?

Thanks guys. I don't have any fry left. I kept her thinking she was a male because as a fry she was the fastest growing and most dominant. Boy did she fool me lol

That is an awesome looking fish. I like the white better than the gold background. Her markings are awesome on a white background.
