Posted	hybrid parrotfish
04-04-2006 17:05 by Big Rob	how big are they before they get their colour,
04-04-2006 21:38 by Zoe	we got ours at about 2 inches and they had good colour, they're about 10 inches now
04-04-2006 21:47 by Zoe	the female goes completely white before laying eggs though
10-04-2006 21:56 by deejdave	they get their colour very small, around the 1.5 to 2" size, the only natural colour (if you can call it that as they are a crossbreed anyway) is an orangey red. Almost all the others like the greens, pinks etc are dyed and lose their colour very quickly as they get bigger.
10-04-2006 21:59 by Lexter	eggs dont hatch so i dont see the point in it all (sorry to be a spoil sport)
10-04-2006 22:00 by Lexter	freaks of nature!!!
