Morning
I'm no geneticist, so I would be grateful for help. I have a small garden pond, and the fish are standard goldfish and shabunkins, the latter I chose for colour. The offspring from last year have grown up, and half of them are pure black! The remainder, I suspect are half goldfish/half shabunk, and only one looks like the original colourful fish. The black fish are a boring surprise, and of course virtually invisible, even at night with a torch. Is this a common experience?
