| My new female gold morph JD came in today and I'm hoping to have her breed with my regular male. I got her from Mark who did a great job shipping her btw. I'll post pics as soon as she gets settled in. | |

| Thanks guys! I have her in my 55g with the male. I did have my GT in there but I moved her to a QT tank so the 2 could get to know each other. Mark did a great job raising her and he said that she spawned 3 times and her spawns were in the 300 to 500 free-swimming fry range  ! MC when do you get yours? | |

| So are the gold morph an albino variant?
I had one similar to that one for almost 14 years it was an awesome fish. Good luck with her. | |

| The gold morph is actually considered to be leucistic rather than albino. The big difference is that they have dark eyes rather than the red or pink eyes of an albino. Mike, I'm glad you like her. I know she'll make you a good breeder.
I hope to be shipping Paul's group out the first of next week. I've had a problem for the last couple of weeks with an injured right hand and wrist (of course I'm right handed), and it's made packing and shipping fish extremely difficult. Just bagging and packing Mike's one girl, has caused me to have to have my hand back in a brace today, but at least the swelling is down. I'm just really glad that she made the trip well and seems to be settling in.

| Dude I didn't know that, I could have waited until your hand and wrist were better.
Again thank you for the fish!!! | |

| Wanted to give an update, the two JD's are swimming side by side and they have picked out a cave to live in. My girlfriend said that she saw the female start to dig up the gravel inside the cave and move it out. Her color is amazing, along with the gold color she has a blue patch around her gills. I'll post some updated pics tomorrow. | |
