I have not been very active on the boards much this year due to work obligations and lack of time. Being late Saturday night and up, I thought I would share a few post-birth pics of two litters that are the last of this season for me.
First is litter that dropped tonight ... was from a PC-Aby salmon male x EBV red group pastel female. Really happy with this one ... especially since I am not gonna have any Cherry Salmon litters this season. Clean and color with the typical PC/Aby-line aberrancies/traits shown mainly in the litter's salmons.
Second set of pics are from a litter that dropped about 5 days ago and was from a EBV red group poss jungle male (produced by Gray Rushin) x 'Caramel' pastel female. The jungles in this litter did not prove out to be super aberrant but are very clean and some of them have some nice reds/colors in them on their laterals/sides from the EBV red group genes via the male ... so we will see how they color up as they mature.
First are pics of the PC/Aby-EBV Pastel Salmons/normals from tonights litter ... 19 healthy (9 salmons, 10 pastels/normals), 7 slugs and one still-born/spine got twisted in delivery. You will have to forgive me for them still being 'birthy/dirty' ... I usaully do not handle/move them this quick but chose to get them out a lot faster/sooner than normal since the mother gave birth to them on the shelf in the cage ... did not want them to start moving and fall off the shelf and injure their spine/vertebra.
And last some pics of the EBV red group pastel jungles/pastel normal litter ... Once they drop the 'baby greys' from their base coloring after a few sheds I think they will be lookers ... interestingly enough, 3-4 ended up with some nice 'ladder tails' on them (which neither parent displays). Have not gotten around to making a count yet so not even sure of the numbers/ratio on this litter but think it was 18 healthy with 2 slugs.
Will try to post some post-shed pics of some of them in coming weeks. Hope everyone enjoys the pics and thanks for looking!
Warm Regards to All,
