FH ID please

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Thanks bro :)


So any idea of what the all white sibling would be? It has ruby red eyes with black pupils, so it's not albino, and it's body is platinum white.

No flower line visible on that one, and it faded from looking normal too.
 
Technically since it's a sibling it would be the same thing/same strains went into making it. Just turned out different. If it helps you may call it "Super Platinum Fader ZZ".. lol Just prepared for people to say "Huh?" :ROFL:

The all/mostly white one sounds awesome though. You should post some pics.
 
Is that how they change colors? They start fading like that? and about what size do they do that?

haha that name is awesome! Maybe add a 'Royal' to the front of it, and I'm set :ROFL:

So I guess when you're recombining these genes, you're sort of just rolling the dice to see what happens. I'm starting to appreciate FH more than I did before.

I took some pics just now to share of the little guy.

What happens is the melanophores, or cells that produce black/brown pigment begin to cease producing melanin, and only the xanthophores continue working to produce xanthin, which is responsible for the red/yellow/orange pigments.

It's a gradual fading and seems to vary in the time that it takes to complete, or at what size it happens at.


The largest one is still fading, yet the smaller ones all faded a couple weeks ago.



Here are the pics of the tiny white sibling that doens't seem to be growing at all:

Guess I was wrong, it does have pearls, but it's so small compared to it's brothers that it's hard to see them:

Yeah it's a roll of the dice pretty much on how a fry of two different strains will turn out. They can be somewhat the same as each other or way different. When you mix a fader x non-fader(parents of your fish) you don't know if your fry will fade or not. I have some Red Dragon x Mammon(fader) fry and it's a guess whether they'll fade or not and what they'll look like. Friend of mine has one of JP's Red Dragon x Jin Kang(fader) fry and at 3" or so it's not faded yet(which makes me think it's going to have more Red Dragon gene) but does have spots on it's dorsel/anal like a Jin Kang or most fader's would have on it's anal/dorsel. So it's showing both traits right now though that could change and it could fade. And you're fish's strain name is based on what two fish bred to make that fish.

That white guy is cool though. Can't tell male or female, but if it was a male he'd be cool.
 
I had purchased these FH from ToadHermit because I wanted to breed them to a female kirrin, but I don't have an extra tank anymore so I scrapped the idea.

I bet I would've got some cool stuff from that combo though.

I'm going to keep the little white one, and one of it's older siblings with the faded flowerline.

If I pick up an extra tank in the future I'll try the kirrin breeding project I wanted to do, it could produce some cool genetic dice rolls :D
