last year or the year before (I think). Those two were the old, dark red types that were not het for anything. They were good breeders well past the 10 year mark. I was sorry to lose them, but this past couple of years, I have had a new generation of bloods and hypo bloods that have been really exciting. I am in the process of taking photos of everything for the ACR, so eventually you will be able to see everything - the good, bad, and the ugly, lol! I have a nice mix of all!
If you meant that you don't usually see adult bloodreds for sale, there is a great reason for that - the babies sell so well! I just sold a couple of extra male bloods for a lot more than for most adult corns. I get people asking me for adult females all of the time. But the babies sell so well and usually do so well for me, that I would have to charge a fortune for an adult female just to equal one year's worth of her eggs. People would think I am crazy to ask what they are really worth. So it is usually better to just keep the females and breed them.
I am really looking forward to a great year on bloods. My first babies (not bloods) just pipped and are starting to come out now. So it is about to start all over again!
