Marble gene/color changes

[John_Nicholson]

I know that the marble gene is unstable but this guy took it to an extreme. The first pic was taken at 2 months, the next pic was taken last night. The fish will not be 3 months until the 7th. Talking about the steel butterfly in back

Wow, doesn't look like the same fish, gotta love that marble.

Yea but I wished he had stayed butterfly...LOL. Most of the change occured over about a 4 day period. This spawn though everything execpt red, yellow, orange, and MG. Here is another fish from it.

what happened to his poor little tail

 

[John_Nicholson]

It is there but it lacks color. I need to either invest in a better camera or someone that takes better pics.....

[John_Nicholson]

Nope those are clear spots. He has all of his fins.

That's crazy, John. He looks like a completely different fish. I had a couple little orange BF's that changed like that as well. Crazy marbles

By the way, that little blue/black male kiddo that Jamie gave me (sibling to the one pictured) is looking fabulous lately Sister too!

Woah, that's nuts! Maybe he has a blue-loss gene?
