    Very nice Alan. Please keep us updated with how they go.

    I think the light fry will be the red cover type and the darker ones will probably turn out like browns. Unless the red cover parent carries an albino allele.

    UPDATE ON RED COVER/ALBINO

    Hi All,
    Thanks for all your kind comments.

    Scott, there is around 10-12 Albino fry amongst this lot and the rest are intermediate fry.

    Ozarowana, the light fry hopefully will the albino variant of the Red Cover and the darker fry will be Red Cover intermediate as the female parent of these fry has the albino gene in her, I lost the male about three months ago.

    Regards
    Allan

    In that case around 50% should be albino... which doesn't look like the case in the pics. Maybe some weaker fry dying off?
