I'm starting to pair up as well. I should have taken a photo of my fire pied male with my bumble bee yellow belly possible het pied, trying to prove her out. Should get a really interesting clutch from those two. Actually saw them lock up on the first day! Also paired up an albino pied with a regular pied, trying to get some hets and make more albino pieds. A lot of my other stuff is top secret, I'll tell you when you see the babies next year LOLOL.
I actually just tried out my new ultrasound, it works great. Some of my girls already had follicles that were as big as 16 mm, some right at 12 mm. There was one girl that seemed to not have any follicles, I was wondering if she was really a girl so I probed her. Sure enough, she is a girl! My big retic had 13 mm follicles so I paired her up as well. It was so crazy in that tub my whole rack was shaking from those two retics in the big tub! They finally chilled out HA!
