    My 'dinker.'
    This is one I picked from some CF babies a friend had earlier in the year.
    Just stood out from the rest.
    What do you lot think?
    The pics make the head look darker than it really is - can't get my white balance right, but the last 2 pics are with one of my het albino girls who is a light normal to give you an idea..

    What would you breed it to?

    Nice head, but what is goin on in this picture? Is that like a growth or something? Ticks?

    Also what is CF?

    CF = Captive Farmed

    CF is captive farmed - they are a small patch of odd shiny gold scales, I took this pic to highlight them and forgot to mention them in the description. There's not 'growth or lump' under them.

    I don't think it's 'het' for anything but I might throw a male fire to her next year.
    I'll try and get some good head shots as it does look too dark in these pics!

    Hi.
    Captive farmed are young hatched in Africa from wild caught adults on mass and then shipped worldwide, basically as soon as they hatch. I think in the US you call them Captive Hatched?

    I never usually buy them but this one just stood out! Thought it was worth a go!

    Ah-ha, thanks for explaining! I've been dying to find myself a nice dinker... saw a few through J&J (where I got Mona) a while back, but didn't jump on them quickly enough. :oops: Good luck with your project - I love the brown head!

    P.S. What country are you in?
