How old are the fry? Black is usually the first colour to start developing and then the rest comes in as they age. The photo you've posted, is that from the fry batch? It's a lovely male, females are usually grey/brown with some colour in the caudal fin.... You probably know all that ?
Well, both or parents or one parent could have a mix background themselves already but the female could also have mated with more than one male before and that she's used mixed sperm packets. This could explain why not all offspring are the same phenotypically.
Isn't a genotype the genetic makeup of an organism? While phenotypes are the genes that are visible?
yes some other mysterious colors come from the non dominant genotypes, that is what i was describing if i was not clear
Yes, indeed...
Update the colours have changed on the two orange and sky blue males they now have a little black going through the orange and only noticeable difference is the dorsal fins on each are the opposite colours orange/sky blue
It's amazing how the colours of juvenile male guppys change over time it seems week to week they change.
