Which one should I keep??

Jeremy L. Oct 16, 2003 03:38 PM

Both are males, from the same parents. They are about a month apart in age. This is SAM
This is MAY
I'm leaning toward May, less spots.

I agree, keep May. They're so similar those few spots are the only thing that really makes a difference...

Since they are so similar, I would keep whichever one was a better eater or which ones personality I liked the best. If youre a breeder doing this for money, then yeah keep May. Otherwise, I would choose whichever one was healthiest or growing fastest.
BTW, what kind of substrate are you using there? Im assuming thats the moist hide... is it mud?

The substrate in the humid hides is sphagnum peat moss. I will be breeding the male that I keep but I would not lable myself a breeder. The male that I don't keep will be the first that I have ever sold. I'm in this for the love of it. May hatched 5-1-03 and weighs 35 grams and sam hatched 6-6-03 and weighs 38 grams. Both are friendly and eat well.

The father is a rw albino and the mother is a hypo-stripe. Can't wait to what they will produce next season.
