Great videos! So many different colors and shapes and sizes...Not many black ones...About 1/4 of my fry stayed black...Do you cull them?

nope, no culling. When I had only gf, about 1/3 were dark/black, which equalled to 30 or so. As time went past, many have turned orange/red. Some are still turning. I always wished they'd STAY orange with some black markings but none ever have. I'd say I have maybe 10 large adult dark gf and another 5ish fry. Of course the darker color helps them survive but am glad a lot have changed. I don't mind the dark ones now as when they swim all together, the dark ones help the other colors 'pop' a bit more, and of course, then you can also SEE the dark ones. There's a couple that have longer fins and one that might have some fantail blood in him! I bet over time yours will change too, Ruby!

Thanks! I like having some black ones..funny that when I feed I can't see them (stealth) but notice the pellets disappear, POOF! gone:)
