Some of my assorted Blues that I'm fond of

[LizStreithorst]

I have a batch of these in a 100 gallon.  Some came from Mug, some came from a Blue Marble X Blue Silver spawn, some came from a Blue Marble X Blue Clown spawn.  I have no idea which came from which.  Not pictured are 4 Plats that must have come from one of the spawns.  I didn't picture any of the Blue Marbles which I have 18 of.  There a bunch of PSs in the batch.  Both my male Blue Marble  were PS.  One of the mamas (I bet the female Blue Clown) must have been het for PS.  I bet the dark ones came from Mug.  I didn't care much for dark before, but I really like these.

I'm a fan of the Pinoy's carrying a zebra gene too.....love those fins and the blue/green that pops out....

From the looks of it, you have some nice stock there.....good job

What doesn't show up in the pics of the first fish in the second post is that it is actually kinda half splotchy grey.  I got 4 decent pics but the half grey didn't show up. I have seen fish advertised on Aaquabid as Half Blacks, but this is no half black.  I'm curious as to what it's called, though.  Heck, I don't know what any of the four are called even in English   Is that one called a Pinoy Zebra?  I thought it was a Zebra but the stripes weren't right.

Look at the fin markings....they tell the story every time...

Of course.  You have told me that before   How would you breed the pinoy's?  I don't want them to get too dark on me.  I want to see pattern, not total blackness.  Do you go dark to dark or dark to light?  I have plenty of more fish in this group and lots of time to choose what to keep.

And these four Plats that showed up apparently out of nowhere?  I bet that Ed's Blue Clown was involved in that.  Willie said that both parents must have had a hidden gold gene   Are they good for anything other than breeding to one another?

Man, I wish I had learned all this stuff when I was young and smart.  I've always liked genetics but now I'm old and stupid and find it impossible to fathom even though I know that the hard work has been done for me and what I want to know is right in front of my eyes   All that is left in me as a breeder that is good is my eye and my gut feelings.  I guess I should feel blessed.  I know very smart fish people who have no problem admitting that they don't have an eye

Pinoy's are a Philippine Blue with at least one dark gene....D/D pb/pb or D/+ pb/pb......to keep from getting too dark, cross a Pinoy to a pb/pb...

Ahem....wasn't that the 'fabulous' ?.....LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL......

[LizStreithorst]

I had to look back and check.  You are correct.  Heck if I had the choice I would take fabulous over famous any day.  I didn't do as well.  The highest level I have managed to achieve is "witch".  I have been downgraded to "slut"
