Fry Colors

[randallhart]

my guppy females were housed with a half black male (replaced with a lyretail male) and she recently gave birth about 3 weeks ago. I can see 2 of the guppy's developing black on his anal fin, caudal fin and dorsal fin. Is it a high possibility that they are going to resemble the father?

Will post pics when I can.

i have found with a few black pairs that fry have came out with black already only a small line where there tail joins, but think black must be a dominate gene as most my fry from 1 half black parent have also been black in colour

Thank you. I was wondering because the two female have no black at all. The biggest one (whom I hope is the mother because she is huge even when not pregnant and her babies come out big) is a yellowish color with a red tail. The other female(who has little babies) is grey with a light blue tail.
