Thanks! To all breeding experts out there, I'd like to ask, if the fry color indicates the future color. I have some pale fry (pinkish, kind of see-through) and some that are dark. I wonder if the pale ones are gonna be shubunkies?? And the dark ones will be common? Anyone that has the experience??

Could easily be, yes. Or an all white fish, possibly. Do you see any other color on your monster fish, or just paleness? I don't see anything but pink...

color can be an indication, but not a definite...I have had the same think happen to me and some of the pales have turned white while others are a yellowish gold, while the darks are still dark for now though shome have an emerald green shine to them

Monster fry is all pale, yes! I hope he/she/it becomes a shubunkie, calico colored or at least like mom, Gullet!

I have nitrite in the fry tank. Maybe the sponge filter isn't sufficient. To lower nitrites I change water everyday and replace it with the cycled water from parents tank.
Maybe the water won't cycle in that small tank with sponge filter. It's 10 g but only half filled.

when the fish get bigger..they can handle the tank being a little more filled...the remaining fry(that I have your to move into the 29 gallon & the fancy fry) are in a full filled 10 gal
keep up the good work mommy

A pic! This is Monster Fry with 2 smaller ones. Monster is short and fat and pink/red in color. I guess it's a female, a new Gullet! but that's just a guess...

I think she has grown!

Wow!Look at that size difference

Is it just coincidence that everytime you take a pic,there's always a tiny fry in front of monster?I think he's aiming to swallow it

Good luck Anette!Can't wait to see him grow big

Wow, how much bigger exactly than the others is that "monster"??

You can call her KingKong!

Or Pinky....
How old is Monster now?
OldHag

Monster is as long as the biggest dark fry, but "she" is fatter

looks like Gullet in the body shape, that's why I think it's a she!
They are born (hatched?) late july, will be 3 months now...
