    just a couple of questions for you regarding getting males. i've heard that red melons are 99% female. have you had any experience of that kind ?? i think i've got two red melon pairs from 4 fish. one is confirmed. the males seem to have slightly less red in the middle. am i just lucky or is the 99% female theory wrong ???

    Hi Samir,
    Regarding the issue of 99% of red melons from a spawn are female that's wrong, you are right regarding the females are redder than the males.

    I don't know about Red Melons but I have been told by a very reliable source that 99% of Gold Leopards and Solid Reds are female. The reason I believe that is because out of 20 fish I have they are all female, every single one of them. The pics will be posted today as soon as I have resized them.

    This is one of 2 RGD males I bought recently to pair with Solid Red females. I am told they are from the source of the RGD.

    Sorry old buddy, what you posted is a golden diamond and not a red golden diamond. That's what an RGD look like.
