Our F1 Manacapuru Red Backs are showing red on their backs
Hi every body, our Manacapuru Red Backs are now stating to show red coloration on their backs and flanks, we obtained these fish from Toney and Jeffrey Tan who breed them along with their F1 Altums. We have been growing these red backs since we got them in February this year when they where 5 months old. As some of you may know the Manacapuru doesn’t always have the red on their backs, in fact I am not sure if I have heard of any F1s that have shown red on their backs. You may also know that it normally takes up to 10 months to show signs of red coloration. We decided not to sell any untill we see some red coming through, because without the red they are a silver radically barred angel, but a very beautiful angel... Two of the main features of this fish is the almost vertically erect dorsal which also is very tall, also the extra long ventrals, but now we can offer a third feature and that is the Red markings on the back. Granted in the photos it is barley noticeable but we believe its early days yet.
Within a few months the red will become more prominent we aren’t offering these for sale as yet! But we “will” when they show more red, you will be then guaranteed to have red backs on your Manacapuru RED BACKS. Some of you know that you have to be very lucky to get a Manacapuru with red on their backs, Even wild caught will loose the red on their backs, but some will retain this colour , it basically a lucky dip , any how please see the attached pics below , We have not digitally enhanced the colour , but we have digitally adjusted the exposure, also we have only fed these Angels on a beef heart mix with no artificial colour enhancements or carrot or spirulina , nothing that resembles Red just red beef heart.

Thanks, Not selling them I think has turned out to be a good gamble, I might add that not all our fish are showing the red as yet, but I think at this point in time I think it is showing up on the dominate fish first, although I have seen some on the sub-dominate as well.
I also spoke to Jeffrey last night and he said his USA distributor is also reporting this development.
