I think you've got a turquoise. Not sure why you think it has some heckel breeding. Heckels will always show a very dark centre bar. They pass that on to their young, and it takes several generations to breed it out.

The other could be a Snow Leopard.

Very nice looking fish. What did the fry turn out like?

Normally green or other heckel i saw had black line at the end so i thoght it might be offspring of heckel.

because i put some of anti bacterial (Bactonex from Aquasonic) water is quite sky blue. the other one Male has white face and orange yellowish 3 quarters of its body. when it was young half was gold and rest of body is white.

Oh it's only 13days from they hatched so i wouldn't have clue what babies would become.
I'm very curious about that too :lol:
