Some of the babies from that day came home with me, Dick. There were light ones that you favored, medium ones that looked just like the mother and dark ones. I regret now not getting any of the dark ones.
This is why. I am not sure if the color will "come in" or "stretch out" on these fish. If the color builds over time, then the soft colored ones are the gems. But what if the color that is there now is all of the color there will be? Wouldn't you then want extra now so that the fish could have enough while growing?
Of course, because of listening to you I made sure to get light ones.
HEADACHE- Yes that's is the mother. The male parent was GR Kohaku.
