Some beautiful worms there just the same and the BEL is a cool surprise.

You are on the right track in regards to what I am thinking. I do not think my male is a fire..

But until I get information on the grandparents of this clutch, it's all speculation! :)


Four are out! Last egg has a little Normal still in it.

Looks like I have a Pastel (possible Pastel Vanilla) female, a smoking Enchi male, a Vanilla Enchi(?) female and a Black Eye'd Lucy female.. Now to figure out exactly how that happened. Let me know if you guys think any differently.

I will pop them again after their first shed.

Enjoy!

Nice babies!!!

Well that is definitely a super fire and a nice one at that. Starting from the left and going clockwise, the next two look to me like a very nice enchi and then a pastel. The one on the far right throws me. I am thinking perhaps firefly. If it's pastel enchi there sure isn't as much banding as the enchi has. Do you think you still have vanilla in play considering the super fire? You say you don't think your male is a fire. But for it to be vanilla and throw fire it would have to be a vanillla cream, and there is no way of mistaking that for either of the single gene morphs. Quite the mystery. I will stay tuned.

I agree, I see enchi, pastel, and super fire. However I think the girl on the right is a vanilla enchi.... Which doesn't make much sense, I know. I'm still waiting to hear back from the parents breeder, but when I do I should know more.

I'm going to be keeping them all for a little while. I contacted the breeder of the parents and he doesn't have any clutch records unfortunately..!

I do have 5 eggs due Sept 18th from the Pastel Enchi father to a Normal girl. If the father has anything to do with what happened, I MAY have an answer. But until the girls are old enough to breed, there won't be an answer for a while.

I'll post more pics once they shed.
