| Rings will become prominent after quite a few months, so it is very difficult to ascertain without having a look at the parents.Even offspring of ring leopard parents may not all turn out to be properly ringed.But they are non hormoned nine bar leopards alright and quite healthy ones.Worth taking the risk. |

If they were hormone fed, Hasheem probably would not have posted this topic.
Rings,stripes,spots,colour become unnaturally prominent even at this age/size of the fish.
Some breeders isolate a few fishes (usually the culls) from a batch and feed them with hormone enriched food to ascertain the future characteristics of that strain. |
