Mike,it surprises me that you got that many fry and no red tails!Mine are producing more reds than blues.I dont know diddly about genetics,but I think the color comes from the females.Since the females dont show the red its really hard to know if she will produce any.Maybe someone with more knowledge will jump in and explain to us how this works.
