Yes there are. And shame on me. I didn't look closely and didn't notice. The light far out number the dark. I 'm really looking forward to see how they turn out. And I will pay better attention from now on.

Some different colour shades there two mate, some darker fry and some lighter. I spoke to Andrew and Jeffery at the show about this and whether it could be an indicator to what the fish colour outcome would be when mixing variants like this. They thought it a good experiment to carry out to see if it would indicate towards peppering in PB lines.

Still got them. I've had some, err challenges, along the way, including a failed air pump. My own fault I knew it was on its way out but .... Despite my best efforts they are still alive. Some misshaped dorsal fins and may be a few gill cover probs, once I can see them better I'll know for sure. It's either wait until they grow more or use a magnifier
