Oh, a twisted hip? I thought it looked like a bit of MBD....

You didn't happen to take a picture of that 'wired' mouth did you? I'd be interested to see what that looks like. Good luck!

Your tanimbar isn't necesarrily a white hypo, many tannies turn real white like that and are generally referred to as "silver" tanimbars.

Also your Merauke doesn't look to merauke-ish. May I ask how long it is?

Also, theres really no such thing as a "Broad-banned" merauke theyre usually real faded in color. I would bet that its an Irian Jaya.

Are any of your animals (besides the Keis obviously) imports?
