re: Fp gardneri Akampa Dark Morph?

Hey All,

        I've got a question for the pros.  I have a couple of tanks of Fp. gardneri Akampa I've spawned and raised.  They are gorgeous fish.  I have noticed that there are a couple of fish in each batch that are MUCH darker in skin color than the normal ones.  I know there is some expected variability, but these really look different.  They have a nearly black skin color under the normal blue, red and yellow markings.  They are much darker than my Fp. cinnamomeum.  I have three males like this and one nearly black female.  Has anyone else seen this?  I'm thinking about seeing if they breed true and are potentially a mutant strain like australe Reds.  Ideas?
