So I am very excited about my GSMs that are supposed to hatch tonight. I have been waiting patiently for a while for them to lay. I was wondering what to expect as far as the babies patterns and what prices are for misbar maroons as I have only seen one for sale. They are WC very dark maroon and very dark gold striping. The female is missing her tail line and the middle line is just a dot on the bottom and other side dot at the top. Male is missing middle stripe on one side and has a half line on the other. Just excited and would like to know what the outcome could be? I have never breed for pattern before.
What to expect?

Misbars are normally a result of poor water quality and not a genetic trait that gets passed on (although their are occasions of it passing genetically).
If you have good water quality through rearing your fry you will most likely come out with very few misbars.
While misbars are all the rage now and are selling for in some occasions more than full bars, they are not really special as its technically a deformity and not part of a pattern (like say a Lighting maroon)
