Since the last male Flagfin was removed from the tank, there have been no
more newly hatched fry, therefore the fry that I have are most probably hybrids.

On February 25, the last male Flagfin was removed from the tank. On March 3,
12 free swimming fry were removed. On March 7, one fry, swimming well (10
days old?) was seen in the tank. On March 24, no fry were seen. Earlier in
February, 20 fry, 5 to 15 days old, were removed from near the surface showing
that fry do survive with the parents in the tank.

I do not see any difference, physical or behavioral, in the 4 female
blueheads in the tank.
