We appreciate your patronage and welcome any suggestions you may have.
(LEFT) Yet ANOTHER boring shot of a Tessera family? At first glance, “yes”, but these Tesseras should mature to have lots of black and intensely maroon markings. The common corn in the upper-right-hand corner of the left image has beautifully shaped lateral markings with deeply maroon centers. Ghosty-looking? (RIGHT) A high-black Tessera that was sired by the same male as the hatchlings on the left. BTW, I love the fish skeleton look on the tail that falsely appears to be the spine and ribs showing through the break of the red dorsal stripe.
