the 2nd pic XB i notice there is green core on the scales. 1. Does the greenish core determines the base colour too? 2. Will the green core stays there even it reach adult hood? Thanks |

1) you say "that is not changing of colour .. its thickening of the fish frame...: " a) first define what is scale frame : frame line divides the scale into 2 different segment. The outer portion of the scale (frame) and the inner portion (base/core). Take a look at an adult cross back scale. You can see a distinct mark running along the circumference of the scale. Between this mark and the scale rim is what we call the scale frame. The frame will always grow in proportion with scale. It will not widen and travel into the core as the color progresses inward. So i cannot agree with u. b) If the logic of color travelling inwards is the thickening of the frame... then how u explain color formation in the form of speckles of dots right in the centre of the scale and this gold speckles does not travel with the so call widening of frame? I dont think i was wrong on this. I am not saying you are wrong, but let the members be their own judge okie? Last edited by fong; 23-02-2005 at 11:09 PM. |

maybe you can share your opinion. Is a Qian Hu Super Grade EB. I guess it will be a gold base ARO.. meaning u wont see any core.

I have seen cross backs with mix of green genes. These type of aros the gold intensity not there.
Many fishes exhibits green core. It is not uncommon. The green core will not disappear as in "disappear". It may be covered by the gold pigmentation as the aro reaches maturity. If you scrap off the gold off the scales, guess u will see the green core. Quote:

So the frame will always be in poportion with the inner portion?? Take a look at this pic I have taken from Arowania. This is a young XB with a very nice blue based....and well defined frame. If what u say is true then as the aro grow bigger it should retain its proportion of its frame and inner base. |
