Caught Aurora in the act @ 3:30 this morning, she was done by 6 AM. Unfortunately, no matter what the numbers say, these guys needed to cook a bit longer. 2 still premies made this obvious to me. Both had incomplete formation at the tails, and lower jaws. I also culled 2 with the very same problem, and may cull 2 more depending on how they fair. They have kinks at the vent.

Needless to say, I don't like those numbers much. But the ones that are going, seem to be strong. Numbers go like this. For now anyway. Just a quick count as I tub them.

2 Still premies.
2 culled premies.
5 sweet potatoes (yuk!)
24 live babies. If I cull the two mentioned above, 22 live babies.

Tentative ratios are like so. May change after shed, as I just wasn't inspecting that close. No need to stress them out.

8 Sunglows
5 albinos
5 Salmon
6 Normals

A couple pictures to hold you over till they shed out....

Ricks got him a Sunglow....

Well, I said I wanted to do this to learn more about it. What d'ya think I learned here? I didn't change anything on her settings during mating, gestation, or any of it. Think maybe I should have raised her temps a bit for gestation?

Thanks for looking!

CONGRATS Rick!

Thanks guys! Needless to say, I'm stoked. I only asked her for one Sunglow, and she gave me a few it looks like. Sammy did me proud too. Not a bad Salmon ratio.

Thanks again!
Rick

There are some nice looking albinos in there.

Once again baby baos are are awesome.

..been keeping an eye on your posts..known you have been wanting that sunglow....how sweet it is..congrats.

Thanks for the comps. I'm so stoked I can't think straight. I only asked her for one Sunglow too. I may just have to retire her after this. She's done me nice. As did the male.

I may go ahead and cull one of the two shortly. An albino that ain't looking all too well with a kink. The other kinked one is a Salmon.

Thanks again!
Rick

Stoked for you!
It don't take much for us old guys.

I'd say you have a great litter on your hands.. very nice. Dan

sorry to hear about the bad parts, but CONGRATS on the litter!!! that is an amazing sunglow!!

i have a possible dh sunglow female who is also a possible super who is "possibly" cooking up a litter (bred to a 100% het male) right now! i hope i get to see babies like yours!! it's hard to tell if she's gravid or not, but she is certainly acting like it! should find out in the next month... arrgghh!

... that litter of babies is nothing to be disappointed about!

Whos' disappointed? I set out to learn myself something as well. Not just make some babies. LOL Besides, take a look at these, as I was putting them into tubs, I took a quick shot so I could look at them without stressing them out. Not too bad...

Thanks for looking!
Rick
