xxBETTAxx Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 How old are they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckie Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 I don't know what they officially would be, but I refer to fish with that colour/phenotype as pastels. Possibly butterfly too, depending on how that pattern develops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jo oakley Posted February 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 I think the girls around 18-19 weeks old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuckie Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 it could be an opaque layer... Nick explained it to me once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettarazzi Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 I would call them pastels as well. No black layer and light opaque irid. They look like they're carrying the variegated fin gene. Have you got any boys like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
