L185 x L160

Post by 900801 »

Happened to place a few fishes in a community while resorting my tank. During the reshuffling, my male L160 and my female L185 had an accidental spawn.

Here's the fries and the parents
Just sharing. Initially they were all black and I had wondered if they would take their father's color but I'm starting to see some patterns on them. One possible could be I raised them in a darker environment.

It will take until they are 2-3" before a true color and pattern will emerge. Please keep providing updates as I am trying to keep track of pseuda crosses. Unfortunately my library is growing.

Pure L160 and L185 fry both start out very dark.

Remember if you use logs instead of caves there will not be any accidental pseuda spawnings.
Thanks for sharing,
Jim
