Here's my ? I have fry from a female Orange and black ob zebra and the male yellow Orange and white ob zebra. The fry are starting to show patterns but no color yet but half of the fry are staying solid. No patterns or anything. Is this normal?
 
my albino red top zebra bred with my ob zebra and one of the juvies looks like a red zebra and the other survivor looks like an albino red top with a black splotch on top of the head/face.
 
OB patterns take a while to show color. I had bred some ob peacocks for a while and they took almost a year to start having the colors come out.
 
I do have a red too in my tank. So let's say my ob zebra female and my red top zebra shimmied. Could half the fry be ob and half red top?
I tried to get pics the first has the more ob looking of the batch and the second has some of the solid now remember these all came from the same mom but some show ob pattern and some are solid.
