Gold Cons!?!

[MIKE D]

ps they have started to pair off.

Cons with color on their belly area are females...be ready for the onslaught of babies...ha!

 

[MIKE D]

My largest con and the next largest con are attached at the hip! that other two arnt interested in each other.

 

[Jayhawk]

Sounds like you've got yourself a pair!

 

[MIKE D]

Should I be concerned about inbreeding? thay all came from the same mom and dad.

Not as big a problem with fish. Inbreeding is how fancy guppy breeders develop and maintain the specific traits you see in different strains of guppies. Fish incest doesn't seem to be that big a problem.

 

[jm1212]

it should be ok as long as they are the product of inbreeding that has spanned 15 generations...
