Impressive litter this morning, beating the odds...

Well my gravid het albino has been pacing the last couple days, and was due on the 17th and this was not letting me sleep much. Today things paid off. I went and checked on her and saw this...

Why is this unusual? Well I put my super salmon het anery in with her. So I would expect all hypos right!?!? I'm sure you can see what the first little one I saw is. An Albino! I had put in a het albino male, but it was about the same time I was seeing the first ovulation. After a little digging...

Another Albino! So what else is in there right a bunch of normals? No, Hypos Hypos Hypos!!!

The total count
3 Albinos
1 Normal
1 bad Hypo?/Normal (I can't really tell which it is)
20+ Hypos!!! I lost count :roll:
No slugs

I'm worried about the albinos they all have a lot of yolk hanging out and didn't seem all there. But the hypos are all in great shape.

Great that she took from both males! Maybe you can try again, or with other, better males next year!

Sorry about the albinos... if that first one laying out in the pic has that big white/yellow yolk towards her tail, she's probably not going to make it.
The other one in the yolk, I would leave her like that and rest her somewhere with a temp similar to gestation. After a few days she should pick up more strength and hopefully she'll be fine.

Lots of Hypos too!

Congrats!

u should have no normals in that litter .. as in the salmon would only throw salmons bc its super so the normal looking ones came from the het albino male which would make the normal ones actually P het albinos ...

NICE LITTER .. CONGRADS...
