I did have a strain of these once, but the female died before she could give birth; leaving me £10 out of pocket with no babies to show for it.

this one has loads of fry. its not a true strain in fin shape or colour/ some males turn out like the female.
they don't look much in a pic but really looks something when swimming about i'd like to fix a good colour strain.

That is the first one I have seen Fish48. A very interesting specimen. I see that you say they don't breed true but has anyone started to work on fixing the fin shape yet?

 

[VaegaVic]

From what I understood when I tried to breed them is that some fish display the trait, others carry the gene. It's the ones that carry that can breed as traits can't physically do the deed.

I've still got the ones i got from you Fish48.
Looking there based on Japanese blue but not a nice. And of course i no longer keep Jap blue's to back cross too
Still gonna do a back cross to Alan's Sky Blue Double swords and see what a sword cross results.

I have had these in the past and Gave them onto Littlemonkey - They are Japanese Blue Featherfins. Going to get some back in a few months and try and cross with the Tiger and see what Happens.

I will see if i have any pix on the PC and load some.
