Cecil and CJ have good points about habitat affecting fish color or hue and were the highly colored fish pure northern BG, some other species or maybe a hybrid?? Ewest is 'spot on' with his info that mixing strains will very likely result in mixed genetics. One can usually depend on the information and 'take it to the bank' when two or more knowledgable people provide the same answers.
