Well, this little guy couldn't make me happier!! First of all, he fed on un-scented pre-killed from the start. Then he never missed a beat and grew better than most of my C.B. Plains. He is is around 45 grams now and has started showing a mature looking tail, so I tossed him in with a couple girls. To stay consistent with his awesome trend, he started courting withing minutes!!
With any luck I should have some hets on the ground and a BIG weight off my shoulders this year.

This is a female "het" blonde. I'm not going to let him breed her this year. I would rather breed her to my "het" blonde male to try and prove out the genetics.

Here he is courting a beautiful light phased female from his same locality(about an 1/8 of a mile from where he was caught.) He had his tail wrapped right before I took the pic, but when I slid out the tub he got spooked and moved. I am going to let him concentrate on her and very dark female from a locality just a few miles away.
