Hi! My first batch of fry is now nearly 8 weeks old, and I'm starting to think about what sort of make I should be looking for to create colourful fish. I have five females of this age, and they have been separated from their brother. Here are a few (horrible) photos so you can get an idea of their colouring.


Here is a photo of the mother and brother.

The mum has a light green tail with a few black spots at the top and bottom. Most of the fry at developing colours similar to this. What sort of male should I be looking for to reliably produce good looking fish? Should I pick one up of a similar colour and pattern or go for something else?
I also have a yellow female with a pale pink tail who I would love to get fry from, so I male who I could use with her too would be good.
