More on my never ending saga

[LizStreithorst]

Two pairs spawned today.  One is the pair that raised their kids to free swimming last time in weird tannin water before they ate them.  They are p/+ X p/p.  I really want them to get it right this time.  The other pair has just started doing the deed..  They are p/p X p/pp, and are therefore stupid.  In the past they have spawned and eaten the eggs soon after.  I would like to raise a spawn from them just to see the percentage of culls I get.  I'm curious.  But I promised myself that I would not pull eggs until next week.

Did I speak Greek correctly?

Yep, that's what I meant.  I know that I'm thick when it comes to some things.  I'm not thick when it comes to the most important things, thank God.

You did good..keep trying it...remember to include all the genes that you know are present...then you can verify by looking closely at the fry, and using a simple genetic calculator.... ...it's not that difficult but does talk some getting used to...and a little practice..
