Pigmented fish are preferred mating partners.

(A) For the analysis of egg quantity, eggs were collected once per week for four weeks (coll. #1–4) from wild-type (n=3 tanks with one male and two females each) and klara (n=3 tanks with one male and two females each) fish. To assess egg quality, the number of alive eggs stored on coconut coir plates was determined one-week post-collection (wpc). Student's or Welch's t-tests were computed revealing no significant differences regarding egg quantity and quality. Error bars represent standard deviation. (B) Collected eggs obtained from breeding groups with a wild-type female and a klara female and either a wild-type male (group #1) or a klara male (group #2) were genotyped via HRMA. As a mating partner, male fish preferred wild-type females (group #1: 76.2%; group #2: 75.1%) over klara females (group #1: 23.8%; group #2: 24.9%). In the presence of a wild-type male and a klara male and either a wild-type female (group #3) or a klara female (group #4) the majority of analyzed eggs were fertilized by the wild-type male (group #3: 97.6%; group #4: 90.9%). (C) Within the same sex, wild-type and klara fish did not differ in size(nWT_male = 9 nWT_female = 9, nklara_male = 9, nklara_female = 8). Wild-type males were significantly heavier than klara males (p: 0.0009). Student’s or Welch’s t-tests were computed to determine differences in size or weight. Error bars represent standard deviation.
