Questions on red spot gold severums

[Chaitika]

I have access to some very pricey red spot gold severums right now. Info is very sketchy on these guys. If anyone has photos, please do share.

I presume these fish are man-made?

Are they linebred or a result of 2 variants?

Will they breed true?

I'm guessing that like other sevs, there's no surefire way to sex them?

not sure how things go in canada regarding price, but if they are over 25.00 for 3" fish I'd be a little cautious unless they are soo red you hardly see any yellow and huge.
my understanding is that they are gold sevs that have been bred to select for more red coverage, so probly a bit inbred. you can outcross them with regular gold and then backcross if short a male/female for a pair.
If this is a proven breeding pair? I might go 3-5 hundred us depnding once again on the seller, quality of fish and my finances
I have some old crappy pics, These are bigger now i got them from aquabid
loshonshimuri i believe.
aquabid is kinda a crap shoot but thius guy is good to deal with

Thanks for the info. I'll take pics tomorrow. They are quite red, in fact I don't remember seeing almost any yellow whatsoever. They are only about 3 inches and waaaaayyyyy more than 25 bucks per fish.
