I bought some adult blue/golds last year in the hopes of setting up a gold
line and then found the golds in Florida.  I gave the adults to someone else
wanting to try.  That is how I know what the adults are like.
Interestingly, they look more like golds than blues.

As far as the young I now have, I set up two pairs, grabbed a few fry after
hatching and as soon as the rest of the fry were gone I separated the pairs.
A few of these will be crossed with my existing golds and it will be
repeated again.  The early crosses will stay in a tank here and grow old,
they won't be sold.
