When should my baby marbled convicts start marbling?

[Hybridfish7]

They're 5 weeks old and still no marbling.

The ones that don't have marbling, are not. They'll just be pink.

Very late, but they did end up marbling, just very lightly. I am now 4 years into this line, and the only marbling pattern that comes up is a black dot on the side, and a stripe on the dorsal and anal fin. Same pattern every generation

Interesting - Pics?
