edie Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 Hi, A pic I took late evening when I was trying to take a look at the fry, well, what do I see...the male is getting all angry and show off. Anyway, he's with about 200 or more of his fry there and I'm thinking of throwing him a female. This male is the so-called 'master gold' from xman. He's as gold as you can see from tip to toe. It's more like "light" gold and I have a strong belief it's coming from copper line (after X generations). What I mean by "light" is not that he's less goldish compared to others, in fact he's the most goldish of all my golds. He is "light" since he has that see-through finnages, so it seems he's coming from opaque line (somewhere in the ancestry). Anyway, enjoy. I can't take good pics of him, but boy he's one of the show quality one and he looks totally different compared to when he arrived (thought he nearly died LOL) Ohh...forgot... I tried to point to some of his fry with the red markings Edie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mishy Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 nice.. very nice gold there.. My gold HM is a darker gold than yours.. but has no clue what to do with a female. Keep us updated with the babies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettabegood Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 His colouring is amazing, Edie! Very nice indeed. A pity he's not the show off type, otherwise he'd pose nicely for you to take his pic. What colour is the mother of his fry? Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edie Posted September 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 He's actually a show off type, but I didn't have a male/female last time when I took the pic. Besides it was at night when i took the pic, I didn't even think the pic will come out. Man...he opens very big when he flares....I love the way he flares but I have to restrict him for not being too agressive, cause he's minding the fry He killed 2 females already since he was too overprotective (or maybe the females were just eggbound, I don't know) Ohh...there are 2 moms for his fry (each batch about 200) but I'm just counting on the "safe side" lol...The moms were golds too... Some fry are DTs, so I know he's carrying the DT gene (as well as the moms), but the ST fry caudal spread so big too, so I'm kinda happy for this lot.
