From Calico To Sakura Options

[goldrush]

Hey just take a look at this transformation in just six months.A supposedly blue based calico has been reduced to almost a Sakura,shedding all its blue and almost all its blacks!!!








Just to share one of disastrous keeping of goldrush

Hi Doc,

To me it's has nothing to do with your keeping method, it's genetic. In my short experience, I've noticed there are two types of calicos: the ones with rather small well defined red patches and the ones with large orange patches. Only the formers are stable "real" calicos, while the latters always tend to become sakuras. Although your fish had blue base, it also had large orange patches, which is not good for a calico.

Regards,

Carlos
