Update On My Royal Blue Full Mask HMPK Spawn

A little update of my Royal Blue Full Mask HMPK Spawn. Currently their 36 days old. Biggest of them is at 2cm and the average size is 1.5cm. Guess they're a bit slow in growing but I'm still happy with it because still got about 100+ of them surviving. Colours are showing and its about 50% Royal Blue and 50% Turquoise. Reason being female is a Turquoise Mask HMPK and male is the Royal Blue Full Mask HMPK. Based on Punnet Square:

Genetics for Royal Blue and Turqoise:-
Royal Blue = Blbl
Turquoise = BlBl


The Punnet Square result is indeed accurate. At least, this confirmed that the parents came from a clean line. However, red wash needs to be monitor as I noticed that the female has signs of red wash and recently, red wash developed on the male's ventral fin.
Most of them are having coloured lips, RB with blue lips and turqoise with green lips. Masking is not yet very visible but some have already develop masking on the face.

The difference in sizes of the fries surprised me the most. The biggest is at 2cm, however, the smallest is only 5mm!

Will try to upload some picture of the fries tonight.
