Question about fish genes.

Let’s say I buy an all blue guppy from a breeder that is very careful to keep the line as pure as can be, and then buy, say, a gold guppy from a similar minded breeder. My question is, when they breed, will the offspring be A) a greenish color from the two colors combining. B) some blue offspring and some gold offspring. C) blue AND gold. D) something else.

I know I learned about genetics, but it’s been so long since I’ve used that knowledge (middle school if I had to guess), that I’ve completely forgotten.

Lost my favorite/dream fish.

I was gifted a black ghost knifefish; a fish I’d been dreaming about for YEARS. Had this guy for 6 months. Did a water change two days ago and everything was/is exactly where it needs to be. Fed him the usual amount this morning and watched him swim about for a bit, went out for a job interview, came home, and he was gone. I am so unbelievably sad because I don’t understand what happened. The last few months have really sucked for me and this is just the icing on the cake 😥

7m Saw fish. Part of the Ray family, the saw is actually used to hunt prey by sensing electric fields. Critically endangered thanks to Choina over fishing, there's less than 5,000 left.
