Festae fry, ID???

[welsher7]

I bought a group of 6 F1 festae fry from a member and there is one oddball.

What do you guys think festae or not?

It is around .75" and is the only one with that coloration. It has the same barring pattern that the others have but a lot of fry having barring like this at this size.


Any opinions?

Looks nothing like the Festae I got at an inch..the bars we're evident at the 1inch size including the Y pattern. The spot on the back fin was also evident. Might just be the angle of the picture I'm seeing also.

It has the same patterns/bars but is a yellow/gold color. Where as the other are the normal gray with black bars.


It is probably just wishful thinking, but maybe it is leucistic, xanthic, or albino????

Or more likely I got a another fish mixed in with the other festae fry.

The mouth on it doesn't look right to me either lol ...I'm not sure what you have there

I guess I'll have to grow it out more.

You are right. I got a hold of the festae breeder and he said the tank used to have some red zebra fry in it, so he must have netted one of those when he was grabbing the festae.

too small where most cic fry are all the same.. but around this time, any black markings on any of them? If not then these are not festaes.
