i have a group of ahli, which i have stopped breeding becuase i do not think the fry are correct. they are not crossbreeding. i watch them all the time breed. the reason i do not like the fry is because they are getting speckling in the fins. none of the females have it nor does the male. has anyone else seen this?

hmm... How long have you had the breeding pair? Does the breeding male have a white stripe going from his nose up to the dorsal fin? In the fry pic, I see more of an overall different coloring. Suggesting to me the female line is different and/or a much older line. For your offspring I would try moving them to different environments and see how they react initially and then after 5 days or so. I would also try putting the breeding male in a different tank briefly to see if his color fades out to show you some speckling...

I have only seen this once and I replaced the female with one I found at DNA for $6... No problems since. As you know, Good Fish + Good Fish usually = Good Fish...

Having said that, I probably just got lucky and this may not be the case here...

And just for fun... My breeding group... and the stone of love...

I agree that your male is a very quality fish, and I didn't mean to question that. Just trying to help you figure out your sitch... I wouldn't cut 'em up for bait though... Throw 'em in a all male tank, and enjoy their uniqueness...
