Yeah I have no idea. The more I look at them the less I'm sure. If it is a female she will be very colorful looks like. I thought I saw a point sticking out one day.This one is very round. Are you sure it’s not a female?
Have you noticed any pairing or sparring between the older fry?
My fry tank has a couple noticeable males now. Not colored up at all. I was debating on moving one to a different tank just to see if I could get it to color up as nice as Lil Mon has.
That literally made me laugh out loud.I think the parents just arent the quality needed to to have awesome looking fry. I've seen pics of very small fry that are just poppin with colors. All mine seem pretty matte finish with drab written all over them.
That little bastard is pretty round huh? looks like a football with fins
They are all kinda fat, I do feed them a little heavy, but theres about 6-8 that size, plus the 5 -7 little guys and 5 danios, so they always go nuts when i feed. Brine shrimp, tiny cichlid pellets, and i throw a couple algae wafers in every couple days to get their veggiesThat literally made me laugh out loud.
Unless you are feeding really heavy and that one is just a big pig... I’d say it has to be an eggy female. I could be wrong, but from the picture thats what it looks like to me.
The parents do make a difference. And I feel like that moms are the biggest influence looks wise.
My big female Greenie didn’t make babies as nice as my female Jades.
I still love my Greenie girl, but she is not allowed to raise anymore fry.
That dark Female reminds me of my girl when she was younger, I'd hold on to her and see how she turns out if you have the room.There is a really dark almost black female, she shows the darkest colors of all

Both her parents must have been jaw droppers.That dark Female reminds me of my girl when she was younger, I'd hold on to her and see how she turns out if you have the room.
River started really showing her colours around the 10cm/4"ish mark so if that female is smaller than 4" hold her until she is, she might just surprise you.
I agree though that quality parents produce quality fry. I'd have loved to seen Rivers dad, I bet he was an exquisitely handsome boy.
It wouldn’t hurt to cut back some maybe.They are all kinda fat, I do feed them a little heavy, but theres about 6-8 that size, plus the 5 -7 little guys and 5 danios, so they always go nuts when i feed.
