    Honestly only the second one looks like it MIGHT be a fire but it's questionable.. It has the head spot but the pattern is throwing me off. You really need to see the belly.


    They are all in pretty bad shape. I'm guessing they are probably just nice light normals at best and need some TLC.

    If they are females and the price is right, you could get them, quarantine them, feed them up, and get them fattened up for breeding later on.

    I wouldn't get my hopes up on them being morphs though. Good dinkers until proven otherwise.

    Go take a look at them. If you know how to check the gender then check them all. If they are females, I'd definitely take the ones with clean/clear bellies.

    Unless you happen to have some morph females already. Then even if one of them is a male, if it has a clear belly, I'd probably pick it up to breed to a morph female and try to prove if it is anything.


    Even if they are not morphs there is always a good chance that they will pass on that light color and improve whatever you might put to them.

    The first is definitely I.M.G the high gold with the dark speckles, the second is a normal and the third looks like a normal (poss fire judging from the gold and the blushing...)

    Well it might be.

    We have also seen normals develop that colouration in the past. It could be through some kind of hormone or stress reaction but we never really found out for sure - most return to normal colouration but some don't.

    I'd look at it as buying three normals who might be worth dinking with from those pics.

    If you want to breed morphs don't start with stock that "might be" is my advice.
