I've been cooling everyone since the first of September, however, this was the first week that I've started putting males in with females. I've been concentrating on getting all my breeder females upto optimum breeding weight while I've been cooling and since most of my balls don't start breeding until Dec-Feb I've been slow to get everyone paired up. This week I was just testing out 4 of my males.....2 of them bred and 2 of them didn't. Next week I'm start pairing everyone up on a more regular basis.
Here are the 2 males that have bred so far:
2001 Red Axanthic male breeding a 2001 Pastel female. My Red Axanthic male wasn't the best of breeder last year but it looks like this year he is ready to breed! This female pastel has not produced for me yet......This isn't the best of pics!

A tail shot.....I love the Red Axanthics! If the female Pastel produces this should produce all "Het" Red Axanthics (Abberant Black Stripes) and half of them will be pastels. The "Het" Red Axanthics are an off colour as well......they are almost the inbetween stage of a Red Axanthic and normal..........

My little Super Pastel male breeding my original WC Black Stripe female. The Black Stripes are a dominant trait that are highly variable. If this female produces all of the offspring will be Pastels and all will have varying degrees of black striping.....most of the black stripes produced look more extreme than their mother......and each generation gets more and more extreme.

This is a male second generation Black Stripe produced from the female pictured above back in 2002.
