Because the red is X-linked.......(usually the female can be induced very red), it is better to use the female parent to cross with a male from the golden-like colour offspring. That is the best.

Using the male parent to cross with the golden-like female offspring may not be the best option.

Take care,

Red=x linked. Ok, that was new to me too :confus1: I would definately have used the male, because I think the males will accept a small female better than the other way around. The female isnt exactly small, in comparassing to the F1s.
Great and wery usefull info Andrew. Thanks a lot buddy :hug1:

Well my friend Moltrup,

Feed all the males with pro-more @ high dose and I am sure handle even bigger females....even if the females are mammoth size.....ha!ha!ha! :garv: :garv: :garv: :hura3: :hura3: :hura3:

I am quite sure this combination will give very good result. :2tubsup: :2tubsup: :2tubsup: :2tubsup: :2tubsup: :2tubsup:

Take care,
Andrew :hura3:

This night after a water change with cold water, there were shaking and showing off all over the tank, and look at the bar across the eye :eek: It is nearly not showing any more. Off course it will come and go away again, but still interesting :confus1:

Especially the ghost is interesting as I have only one left it is easy to compare with the previus photo :2tubsup:
