Hi,
I'm new to the forum and wondered if anyone had any information and/or experience with the different color forms of P. pulcher? I have a pair of yellow morph (see picture) and they are really compatible with no aggression towards each other. They have five week old fry and are still parenting great. I am looking for the red morph as well but when I had the reds in the past, the males were really aggressive. Any insight to the inheritance of each color? I know that there is a scientific paper on the behavior but any info on the color genetics would be great.
