Blue acara and electric blue acara mated.

My blue acara and electric blue acara mated after putting them in my hospital tank. Has anyone ever seen this before or how they may color up? I have attached pics and yes I know the tank is kind of dirty as I haven't been able to do a deep clean because they have constantly had batches of fry for the past 2 months. All I can do it a light gravel cleaning and water change like I just did. Any info would be great. Would they be a hybrid, a blue acara, or electric blue?

Good job, electric blue will be a receive gene, so you will get mainly blues with about 10% electric blue. I think

Thank you for the info. It will be interesting to see how they all turn out.

Since they are the same species, they can't be called hybrids. The fry which look blue will be carrying the electric blue gene, so if you sell on any offspring I would still mention it.
