Different ASF?

[euphuistical]

Every single one of the ASF's we breed are the piebald type. I think there may have been 1 or 2 out of the many hundred babies that were all brown. None have been all white and none have had red eyes.

We started out with 4 piebald types.

Very interesting.

I have a couple red eyed ones. Pretty good variety among my brood actually, and haven't. I have these cool grey ones with a thin white line down both sides.

popular opinion is that the selfs (all one color) are the "normal or wild types". And the pied, dilutes, and head stripes are all morphs. Who knows though if this is true.

There is already a thread on here somewhere that has all that. (having trouble finding it though... I believe I started it)

I have lots of solid grays, some even have a little white patch right between the eyes.
The ones I don't produce often are browns, I've only had a handful of those.

Most of mine are the solid grays, pieds, albinos and solid beige.

Good luck with that. 1.9 in what size enclosure? Sounds like youre setting yourself up for a lot of dead pinkies with a 1.9

40 breeder i have a buddy that has the same set up and he has been having really good luck with them

Alright let us know how that works for you.

Anything more then 1.3 is more waste then it is worth. Been there, done that.

What size enclosure are you talking about anyway? Would love to see your setup that would have enough room for 10 full grown breeders and 120 pinks, fuzzys, hoppers all at once....

With a 1.9 group, less then half of your babies will survive... and the male dying will be normal.
