I had about sixty fry in this spawn with a 70/30 spit of male/female. The pictures to the left are some of the fry at three months old. The multi color females didn’t photo well but very similar to the multi male you will see.

72 fry survived from this spawn, with a ratio of 40/60 male to female. All fry are super black – they turned dark with a few different shades of black and some red showed up in the fish if you shined a light on them. The following pictures show three different males and several females from the spawn.

There were 52 offspring in this spawn with a 30/70 split female to male. Results of the spawn all turned out Turquoise with red pectoral fins and some red in the other fins.
