:YMPARTY: and finally - dad!!! So you think he's not just brown? See, I have got an orange one, he's called Rusty for obvious reasons (not managed to get him out of his hiding place yet though) but compared to him this dad definitely looks brown to me. And no, Rusty is not the dad of the other fish ...

and I know it's off topic, but I uncovered my most shy of all fish...my gold nugget

FINALLY got a better pic of mum, well, 2 pics I have uploaded, and the best I can get of dad, still not good though he's being shy still

mum and dad have hidden behind the filter so can't catch another of them at the moment, but I did got two of their previous batch and also another of the cutie new one's. Again, will add mum and dad when they show their faces!

I will look in the morning properly as I only just noticed something was odd this evening even though I had noticed the colours before. From memory though I would guess maybe a quarter to a third have some odd colouring. If I can get a better photo of parents tomorrow I will add them on.

Kinda got photo's of mum and dad, though dad is camera shy and mum only showing her belly! Have just noticed though that dad has a little bit of orange on his tail?!? HTH

I got the parents from my mum when her tank split - I rescued all her fish luckily I had both room in my tank and suitable tank-mates. Mum fish is long finned and dad is just ordinary brittle nosed, both brown. The last lot of babies (before I knew they had them) are all brown like mum and dad. This ...

I have the same coloured male and female, and they have produced both brown and mixed colour offspring, my question is will the multi coloured babies keep their colouring or will they darken the same as mum and dad?
