new pair........ *strain id

[poppy]

Hi Everyone!!

I have had a new pair, pair up in my community tank........... wow.....

One was a new fish I bought 2 weeks ago, so very exciting.

I didnt have much luck with my last pair until now, so fingers crossed for the futures of both pairs.

My question is what would the offspring look like?? See pic, the female is the orange one and the male the larger blue/red.

Thanks in advance

Well Poppy, you've got a nice blue turquoise and a marlboro red. I guess you could get red turks and some pearl pigeons from that pairing.

Good luck with the pair and I like your tank back drop very original :wink:

Hmm not sure what would the offspring look like...

But Im pretty sure they'll look great just like the parents.

Good luck with the pair.
