Just a few more photos....

Some of those males are looking chunky. Pinoy's look awesome.

The fish in photographs 4 & 5 are are great what are they and what is the parentage. I'm hooked on any kind of blues and would love to have some like this.

Pic's 4 & 5 are varieties of Pinoy's. They have double doses of pb and a Dark gene. Those particular ones are also smokeys. The nearest fish in pic 5 looks like a chocolate and possibly streaked. A fish with 2 copies of smokey has more smokey coverage and is called a chocolate.

So they are Smokey Pinoy's and a Streaked Chocolate Pinoy or Chocolate Streaked Pinoy.

Hope that helps.

Pinoy's look awesome.

As you found they're fiesty b's. I managed to cut out most of the damaging aggression by splitting up and ensuring that there were significantly larger individuals in each of the tanks they were moved to. None the less as photo 5 shows, they haven't stopped bickering completely.

what are they and what is the parentage.

Roger (Spyderuk) has it just about covered, the fish in photo 4 is the fish at the rear of photo 5, and that's a smokey pinoy, whilst the one in the foreground of photo 5 is, I think, a streaked chocolate pinoy. I'm confident that the one is streaked, whilst I'm about 95% confident that the other hasn't got a streaked gene.

Their parents were a streaked smokey pinoy ghost and a streaked blue chocolate ghost.

See this thread, http://www.uk-angelfishforum.org.uk/t314-a-family-affair, for more details of the parents, in particular see my 4th post in the thread.

More great photos Rob,& those pinoys sure show great colouring.

The pinoy's sure are trouble but worth it. I find they are not so bad with other fish but I can't keep my two together.

Smokey bacon was removed from all the others at the start as he was getting badly harrased. Upon re introduction SB has beat the living snot out of one of the pinoys. I had to reshuffle things around again. I can't keep up.

#need more tanks

Here's one little koi I shall be keeping a close eye on....




and one of it's siblings....

Thats a pretty little Koi rob, but the coverage is very nice & it will be great to see if it keeps it & intensefies.
