Bob, if you stare at them to make them shed what do you do to make them hurry up and pop out of the female (just not premature)? I'm still waiting, you know I'll be posting pics asap. They look better than I imagined they would, you got some awesome little guys there. Congrats again, Nick

Thanks Nick....I could not be happier!
That is why I dont stare at the gravid girls....I do have a powerful stare....lol.

On top of that the hypo that shed was my #2....I think! So hard to tell...some look so much alike.

I think the "pre-shed Hypo pic is of another littermate though - the head stripe doesn't connect on the post-shed pic.

Very nie indeed.

That poss super hypo poss super cyclone boy is stupendous!!! Congrats on an awesome litter

I may have missed it, but what's the history on the cyclone line?

Thanks in advance for any info.

Thanks for the compliment. Here is a short write up from my website.....
Cyclone/Hypo Cyclone
These were first produced in 2005 from an aberrant male produced by Rich Ihle at Salmonboa.com and two normal females. He was bred to both females in the first year. I was very excited about the outcome of both of these breedings. There was total of 62 babies in the two litters. There were 48 babies were born with very aberrant patterns, many had some amazing colors. The aberrant patterns were Present in both the "normals" and the hypos.The results were duplicated in 2006 (same pairing). There were also a few cyclones created in 2007 (very small litter) with a different female. The Cyclone gene is yet to be understood in its entirety. I believe that it is working in a dominant way, which I hope will be proved this year (2007). This year I have bred the best two from the hypo litter in 2005. This pair represent everything that I want to see in a Hypo Cyclone. By breeding the siblings I hope to have a better understanding of how the genetics are playing out. As of now it is almost a certainty that the Cyclone gene is acting in a dominant fashion. In the next couple of years I will be able to explore the genetics even further as I breed the Cyclone trait that was present without the hypo gene influencing it.
