A Serendipitous Litter!!

BCIexotics Jun 05, 2007 08:42 AM

I sure wasn't expecting this. I concluded not too long ago that she might not be gravid, didn't show many signs of being gravid, i never was quite sure.

But when i looked inside her enclosure and found these 3 little gems...and 2 slugs...i guess that explained it. A tiny litter but i couldn't be any happier They all look like supersalmons and have absolutely no black markings anywhere.

Dad was a supersalmon and Mom a probable...i guess this proves her out to be a super.

Thanks for looking.

Congrats on the babies, they are gorgeous. But that doesn't prove mom as a Super. Since dad was a Super you would have had all Hypos anyway. And even if mom wasn't a Super, being Hypo would have made the babies from that pair that much nicer.

Now if you breed mom to a non hypo male and get all hypos then she is a proven super. I will say the odds are in your favor with the litter, but being VERY small it is not a good one to test by. Example, a good friend of mine bred two het Albinos out of 35 babies only ONE was Albino.

Those are the coolest-looking Salmons I have ever seen!! Imagine them as Ghosts? Or Sunglows?

Mind-blowing man. Mind-blowing....
