Sounds very promising then! Those Clowns I recently lost were the same. Het blue and there was an obvious blue coloring on their heads, dorsals and ventrals.

A terrible picture but I prefer to not push a camera
at these guys. One shot and walk away. I get what I get. This was kind of a 'hit and run' shot, no flash and didn't even care if the camera had time to focus.
I'm pretty
pleased with the fin extensions on these Peruvians. Dorsal also has extensions
that cannot be seen in the picture. It is my hope to carry this trait, along
with others from the Peruvians, into my domestic crosses. Anywhere close and
I'll be happy.

Additional crosses with the Nanays are showing the blue iridescence in het pb. Pinoy line and Platinum Marble line crosses have both shown a discernible blue color in the crown with single dose pb/+. Nanay fry show the typical tan/brown crown color one would expect..

I have not had time for taking pictures in a while, so I snapped a few quick ones today. These are het for blue. Quality of pictures will improve as I find time or they decide to slow down a tad.
Compared to the pure Nanay posted above, the het blue offspring from the cross displays good coloration. Can't wait for pb/pb out of these.

Four month old Nanay x Blue Zebra cross. F1 het Pb.
Very nice.
Thank you! The flash washed out a good deal of the blue but they are coming along nicely, I think. They are requiring much more area per fish than usual. A 75 gallon will only hold 6 to 7 at this size without chaos erupting and fin pieces falling. That is something I will need to work on,,,
Love that blue coloring you are getting! Best of luck with the next generation and developing this line Dan.
