I have around 50 F1 Allpahuayo juvies, one is starting to show signs of fun elongation.
Has anyone else experienced this in f1 fry?

Pics 1-4 are the fish that seems to have longer fins pic 5 is what the rest look like.

It looks like a 'sport' or mutation. These are usually lost to predation in the wild but we see in domestic bred fish from time to time. This is how we get all of the long-finned species we see in the hobby. If it turns out to look good to you, you might want to fix the trait as a new strain.
