It looks like at least 3 are starting to fade. some look 100% convict, and only a couple look a bit parrotish. I only get home about once a week so I'll try to get some more pics before xmas.
KKP X Marble Con.

The little guy in the 6th pic from the top is really interesting as he has no dorsal fin except towards the very end near the tail. I've never seen this type of deformity before.
Oh wow, how did your Con hybrids already get that big. XD Mine's still at the 1.5-3.5cm ish length. 
if you could keep the marbling and the blood parrot shape it might look like a piebald blood parrot
I think I may, in the end, get more than 3 faders but 3 are now showing signs of fading already.
I guess it's a mix of hybrid vigor and the midevel genes from the parrot. I still have two that are about a cm long too, IME runts often throw some pretty cool traits if one is patient enough to wait for them to grow.Oh wow, how did your Con hybrids already get that big.

So far, I think in order to get anything like that it may take several attempts with back breeding or line breeding.
Yeah, prolly the midevil side of things then. XD My mix is with an Ellioti, which is a slow grower anyways.
(I've also heard that actually! About runts, because in some cases the runts has some cool traits that takes up a lot of energy to develop, hence why they develop slowly. But when they do, it's amazing.
many times you can tell the faders as they have a muddy copper color, sometimes with hints of orange underneath the mud. they show an obvious color difference from their nonfading siblings. very interested in hearing approximately what percentage of the fry fade...if I'm right it should be around the 50% mark. fairly certain its a co-dom trait, keep us posted!
Well I just got home for the end of the world weekend, 
and grabbed some new shots. more are looking like they might fade. The bigger guys will be moved to the bullpen (90 gallon grow out) to let the slower growers have a chance to thrive. pardon the algae in the tank, my sidekick isn't the best about turning off lights. I added my CAE to bring down the brown algae and clean up the left over foods.
