Hi all. I have caught some of my pond fry today, took them inside. I don't think it's good to bring in all 15 at once, maybe too much toxic waste and such. So I found 4 and they all have the same body shape as Gully, the first fry I found. Turned up nose and high arched back. They are cute but special. Maybe I won't be able to sell them... unsure.gif what do you think???
Three of them.

smile.gif They are so cute! I love the colors and those black eyes! Hard to say about selling them now because they are so small, just have to wait and see how they turn out! Really cute though! heartpump.gif

They are all beautiful in my eyes exactly.gif I don't see the flaws in them I say they are cute heartpump.gif
OldHag
Yes I think they're cute heartpump.gif and I love their colors too, just wonder what other people might think... my LFS will take them in spring, but if he can't sell them, maybe he won't take them... they don't look like pure goldies!

I doubt there's anyone out there who wouldn't love them - they're absolutely gorgeous heartpump.gif They really do have a distinctive shape, especially the nose area but that's what makes them unique biggrin.gif

I think they are lovely and would buy one or 3 from you. How big are they?

They are like your house 'specials' Anette. Gullet babies heartpump.gif I think they will be beautiful when they're big too because the colors are so pretty. How are they doing in the tank?
OldHag
They are doing just fine with their tankmates! They are around 1 1/2 - 2 inch, the sizes vary a lot. Wish you all were here in Sweden, then I could sell them to you!
JenW
Geez, they'd have great fun in Sandy's pond biggrin.gif
OldHag
They are acclimatizing fine in the tank, here they are dancing with the big guys!

Hi

I too think they are beautiful. When I go to pick the fish I want in my tank, I always look for the unusual ones with disctinctive markings. Something that stands out and makes them unique.

Those fish are beautiful, very sweet and gorgeous colours.

Good luck with them

Still think it is strange, they have the same parents as the fry from last year, but they look totally different!
Any specialists on genetics here???
