I have had a fry of Orange Flash hatch { 2days ago} in the wigglers. I noticed when I was moving them to a grow out tank. That in this fry there is 16 Yellow fry. I know there young and may or may not grow out of this. But I just thought it was wired. I've never even read anything on this either.
I just thought it was funny to see 16 gold or yellow ones in the fry. I can tell there differnt just as soon as I look at them. I meanthe others or brown and black looking but these 16 or yellow. Has anyone every seen this or every heard of this. If so please tell. I'm thanking there gold Apisto's M I off base on this thought?

It is possible that one or both of your Orange Flash is/are a normal colored offspring of a Yellow-Gold Cacatuoides. The Yellow-gold morph has a lethal gene that kills offspring of Yellow-gold X Yellow-gold. To avoid this, breeders breed a Yellow-gold to another color morph. Some offspring are normal colored & some are Yellow-gold.
