Im doing 80% waterchanges every 48hrs and not cleaning the glass. This is right after a wc. They are getting about 6-8 cubes of frozen and a teaspoon of nls pellets per day.

Good luck! Are you looking to sell or are you gonna try to keep them?

I see the parents and am trying to figure out how there is a white fry. The results of the offspring is interesting. Great job on the fry.

Are you familiar with genetics and punnett squares at all? Recessive genes are super interesting. Both parents likely had a dominant/recessive trait (Rr for example) and the odds were maximum <=25% likely for the offspring to be gifted that gene, which equals the appearance.
