Hey All,

Just went to go feed my little troopsand when I was crushing up some flakes for the fry in there, I looked in one of my cabombas, and there was a little tiny fry.

I knew one of my guppies were pregnant, but It's wierd: The last time, they were all grey, all 16 or so of them.

Now I only spot 1 new one and the little guys a bright yellow.

So is he like an albino, or some other genetic pigmentaion defect or something? Or are just all of my 3 week old fry going to look pretty much the same, and this ones just a yellow cobra (At least I think thats what they're called... I do have one of them in the tank).

Thanks guys.

Its hard to say but guessing either a yellow peacock or a cobra. Its not an uncommon coloring though. The female may have been holding some sperm from a yellow male she ran into at the fish store for a while though. Its hard to say really. Guppies are a genetic hodgepodge and could have recessive traits that will show themselves in a fry every once in a while, even from a rather plain female.

Albinos have red eyes.
