There is no such thing as an "F1" ruby red/Rubsescens/German red/Woody red/etc.....
F1 means first generation from wild.
None of these red peacocks exist in nature. They are all man-made line-bred fish that have been developed over the years.
What Matt is saying is correct. An "F1" ruby red/Rubescens/etc would be the equivalent to an F1 Marlboro red discus, an F1 oranda goldfish or an F1 veil-tail koi angel. None of these fish exist in a natural habitat and therefor there cannot be F1s.
Not opinion, fact.
Don't believe me? Try to find a picture of one of them in any of Konings' books.....ain't there because it ain't in the lake.
