Wow...that's tough. I have so many in my Fancy/Feeder program that I would consider beautiful, even if they are pretty bland. I love them anyway. However, I do have a limiting factor in that I cannot take a decent picture to save my life...so you'll have to make do with only one of my favorites.
That's Magic, one of my original fathers of the line. He's still kickin' today, at 2 years old. Go Magic!
Thanks Wilder. He does have some nice coloring, even if it isn't very fancy. He's produced some nice red, blue, and green babies...sometimes even throws some yellow. He seems to still be going pretty strong, never had any illnesses. But he gets spoiled.
Sorry to take your thread off track, Thaspus. I'll try to get some Semi-decent piccies of my other favorites soon.
My first male matured at 8 weeks, colour started to show a little before that. It does depend though on how fast they grow and what colour they are going to be. There are some pics of mine here...................... http/www.fishforums.net/index.php?showtopic=110359
