any idea what happens to the bar in F1 ?
i liked the previous batch of wilds,if you take away the bar I think these guys are pretty average.

I can tell you what happens. About 50% dont develop the bar to this extent, and about 10% of the 50% will resemble the parents with a good bar. What i do is cull at least 50% of the fry, so no weaker/poorer coloured strains get to the market. Pity other breeders dont do this - we wouldn't see so many crap fish around like you see today.

thanks Squid I've been trying to get that info for a while now.
