    Found this purple guy in one of my neocardina tank yesterday.



    Has anyone here breeding cherries/sakuras/blues manage to see any of those in your tank too?

    Maybe that's the result for sakura/cherry x blue
    red + blue = purple

    Just kidding, don't think they interbreed...

    Hard to say my friend. Because that tank is a "rojak" tank with all the blues/malayan/cherries/sakuras inside. I also have no idea whose its parents were.

    Yeah another new color. Now hoping to refine this guy. See whether can achieve a full solid purple piece.

    Hi Silane, right now only managed to get 2 pieces. Used to have a few pieces of deep maroon/purplish like but they tend to be of smaller size and die off too easily.

    Its a mixed neocardina tank comprises of mainly cherries/sakuras, malayans/blues.

    I will expect so, unusual color is weak. Hope that you can breed them in mass in the future.

    Thanks bro. I wish to too.

    Here's another piece I found. It seems to be a bit bi-color.
