    My girlfriends aunts fish tank burst so she rushed to save her fish and fry. So she gave me 30 of the fry. Ive not seen the parents of the fry. She says that the mother is black and white and the dad has some orange in him. she says its Oscars but im very sure it isn't. Here is a pic of one of the fry. Hope they aren't blacklisted coz they look nice. I am sure that these are chilids

    Actually, in terms of sexing the parents, it would have been the other way round.
    Both the parents would have been black and white, but the female would have had a bit of orange on her belly on top (dorsal?) fin.
    My 2c.

    ahh, Johan beat me to it. LOL...
