Bob, LFS means Local Fish Store (or Local Fish Supplier ?).
Eric,
seeing as how the red-ocellated colouration occurs in the
wild as well, although not as much as on bred specimens, I
would assume that it's a dominant trait and you may get
more double-red fry than orange. Just try it, I don't think
anyone can really answer what colour they'll be.

Fredrik
