opcorn:If you purchased Maswa Duboisi Fry from a reputal person/importer, I would have no reason to say that they would not.
The problem is..there's not many of them.
After seeing so many colonies, and talking to people I have really started to believe like others that the male passes the band pattern onto the fry. So, in order to have really nice wide yellow bands you need a dominate male with that kind of band, and the nicer the band the female the better.
Yellow bands are Maswa, Cape Kabogo, and Halembe. The best suggestion I can do is tell you go see the breeding colony before you buy or demand a photo.
If they cannot provide you a photo, then most likely they are going to be selling you pondraised Duboisi that might come from Burundi, might come from their own breeding places, or they got them from some wholesaler. Then you are at their mercy that they did their homework, and did not get mixed up duboisi or some sub-par looking fishes.
There is no problem really with the pondraised, it just that you will be getting what ever breed in that pond fishes fry. As long as they kept the different types of Duboisi seperated, you'll most likely get nice fish.
To have them all be amazing, I'd bet they most likely hand picked them, or went and saw the colonies before purchase. You could always contact them thru their YouTube accounts and see where they got them?
