What author claims

Mature females may show rust tones; black OE contributed to later cross programs

Measured brood counts

Not published

What remains uncertain

A selected supply family, not molecular proof of a Black Rose-specific allele

Care, selection, authentication

Maintain lineage-specific stock labels, isolate genuine known mating pairs in a matured tank, document sex and source of each parent, hatch-date cohorts and scored F1/F2 offspring. Color and orange eye often segregate differently in breeder accounts. Record water parameters rather than assuming one eye-color gene governs body color.
