NEW FANCY COLORED VARIATUS 
A New Creation Introduced By Us in 1935 
The red males vary in colors and designs like the original 
variatus. The most remarkable thing about the black variatus 
No. 49 is the fact that they breed 100 per cent true with 
only minor color variations. It is the only fish known where 
all of the male babies are born black and the females white, 
and also the only fish on which the sexes may be distinguished 
at birth. As most live bearing red colored tropicals are fairly 
delicate, the red variatus is hardy and able to stand temporary 
temperatures of 45 F.
