Super kindai, thank you so much for taking the time to illustrate the keepers from the shusui and hariwake culls. i learned so much.
i think my hariwake fry are very much like the ones in your picture.
i have a question about the little black dorsal line on some of the fry:
will that line become blue (or black) dorsal scales? or is it temporary?
At what age or size do the dorsal scales on shusui fry take on color?
what is the name for what i am going to call a "forehead plate" just above the eyes and does it indicate anything? i notice it is green on some of my fry. i refer to it as 'the mark of the midori.'
also, some of my fry are a pale yellow and some are more dark gold.
are the pale yellow, yellow ogons? or just another shade of hariwake?
are the platinum fry, platinum ogons?
thanks again for your guidance and your time.
