Default Cucumbers in platies tank and mixing breeds of platies ? ? ?

"Christy84065" wrote in message
om...
OK, I wonder if the babies will be mixed and muttled colors more or
less a mix of their parents or will they take after one or the other
of their parents? I really do not want mut fish...


If you mix Platys of only one type (ie: red wag-tail), and they have not
been in tanks with other non-red wag-tail Platys, and the line is
relatively pure, then your fry will follow the parents (red wag-tail)
with only the rare exception. Without those exceptions, we would not
have all the colour variants developed.

Personally, I like a tank of pure breds, almost as much as I like a tank
of mutts ;~)
