http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t174/jordonsmum/100_4617.jpgI came across these 4 today and couldn't pass them up. They're beautiful!!! They're all high fins. The black one's tail has a curve at the top that could almost look to be the start of a part lyre??? the top part is white and virtually invisible to the camera. It only took about 10,000 pics to catch even a glimpse that we could see in the photo. I'm crossing the female Highfins with my Lyre male to see what happens after they drop and the male highfins with female orange lyres to try and get some colour and variation in fins.

You should get about 25% Hifins, 25% Lyres, 25% Hifin Lyres and 25% unknown. That's pure guesswork - I haven't worked with the cross long enough. Of course, your females will probably be packing from your original male for months.

Nice fish! As for crosses, I like the 25% unknown (I love a good mystery.;)). Have fun!
