Chocoholic

I love most kinds of chocolates, each flavour has its allure and I hate it when presented with a box of chocolate with many flavours to choose from. In actual fact, I would love to savour each and every one of them... it is very seldom that a box of chocolate survive a week in my fridge.

I faced the exact same dilemma for my Chocolate Moscows too. Sometimes, I am at a lost of which morph of Chocolates to focus on. There is the lighter brown to chestnut colour, the reddish tinge cherry brown to the maple tone and the very dark Oak tone like dark chocolates. There is also a morph of albino thrown out by the Moscow Chocolate which I candidly dubbed the "Milk Chocolate".

Due to the AFR ancestry, the Milk Chocolate Moscow exhibit tones of red but they are more towards orange in colour. Naturally for most Guppy hobbyists, the first thing that came to our minds is to back cross to the AFR to see if we can achieve the best of both Worlds - The scarlet red of the AFR strain and the big body and broad finnage of the Moscow strain :)
