they were looking light...

apeilia Nov 21, 2004 12:09 AM

I took pictures of my '02 pair while they were looking especially pale. The darker one on the right (male) usually has an almost black head, but the female is always light. Of course, I used a bad backgroud - should've used something with a bit more contrast.
I'm planning on breeding these two next year if the female's growth slows down before that.

I tried to give an idea of the size...

I love the striped one! The other has some great colors as well. They should make some great babies, thanks for sharing pics!

I just can't seem to get real good pictures of them. One of these days I'll get a digital camera so I can tell if the pictures didn't work before I develop them.

Hey,
I would say that to the contrary, the females size should not decrease, but increase for good egg development and egg carrying weight. I think that is what you meant.

I meant that she is still growing (getting longer). I didn't think that it would be a good idea to breed them while she's still getting bigger so quickly? Would it stunt her growth or should that not be a problem? I guess since these are my first bloods, I don't know how big the female needs to be.
