Re: [Killietalk] chocolate aus

You are correct, Bill.The modern dark chocolate as the "schwartzflosse 
population, are aquarium strain that has been line bred for darker and 
darker chocolate color, thus the so called "black tail" variety I enjoy so 
much. The natural wild AUS are much lighter brown-red color and even have 
some green or blue tints in the body. Indeed, we now have a wide variety of 
different colors ranging from gold to red and yellow and on and on. In 
fact, Gerhard Schrieber has developed a beautiful gold or yellow strain with 
practically NO red dots which he has displayed (and therefore donated to 
auction) at the last couple of AKA conventions. As you said, people have 
varying tastes and styles of fashion change constantly. That applies also to 
our killifish. It is good fun.
