Juvenile colours update

[Neil C]

Hi All,

Well just a quick update to the colours of the babies laid by the pair in the thread below,

http://www.caudata.org/forum/f46-be...ding/77614-dark-female-laying-white-eggs.html

All seem to be growing well with a good survival rate. I posted some photos to show you some of the colours that came out of this pairing. There seemed to be most of photos 1 and 2 , which will should turn out to be the parents colours so no surprises there! Then the rest seemed to have shown up in very low numbers. Maybe a maximum of ten in some cases and as little as two in the case of the whitish one with the yellow on the head. I'm hoping the last one will be a melanoid as I still don't own one of these and they look black in the tank when swimming around. I'll update these again as the get older and we get a better indication of their true colours. Nice to get a good mix of colours and then the guessing begins?

Regards Neil

they are gorgeous!! my copper female layed all white egg's {how i know she's a copper, i thought she was wild type} i wonder if our baby's will turn out like yours

so pretty. I'm sure the last one is a melanoid, and i wouldn't be surprised if the second one(s) turn out to be light melanoid, but could as easily be melanoid leucistic. Always hard to tell at this stage! great mix. Is this the first time you have bread this pair?
