What size do they usually start turning?  Or is it different with them all?

Mine generally start just before dime size.  That's what these are.

They are almost dimes.  Now that they have a bit of elbow room they'll start growing like weeds.

Why thank you very much, folks.  It was the first expressing that swam in front of my lens.  I think I got lucky and just took a good pic.

They sure do love their new home in the 120.  More have turned in 24 hrs time.  Ain't that something?  I want to start selecting for fast turners.  I need to set up a 10 gallon and start separating.  And I need to start thinking about selling them.  These, I will not be giving away.  I'll ask a premium for them.  They come from my favorite pair and I believe in them.

They will all be pearlscales ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

More and more of my multitudes of beautiful pearl scales are turning.  I give the batch a hard look twice a day.  Twice a day I see a few more that have turned.  I've separated a tank of the turned ones into their own tank.  I'm hoping that there will be a high percentage since their grandparents came from a spawn where near 100% expressed.

That is an excellent ratio. Great news  ;D ;D ;D

These are getting close to quarters.  At first they were turning right and left but they're taking a break from turning now ::)  Out of the multitutes, so far I have only 18 turned.  I like the ones I have though ;D

Great looking halfblacks Liz. Will you be selling any of the turned ones??  I'm very interested
Title: Re: Happy multitudes
Post by: LizStreithorst on October 19, 2014, 06:27:58 PM
Yes.  $8. each at quarter size.  I have a waiting list for them, but a lot of the times people change their minds.

Some of those are Zebra HB too....right?
Title: Re: Happy multitudes
Post by: LizStreithorst on October 19, 2014, 06:51:46 PM
Yes.  Most are Zebra HB.  The parents are both Zebra.  But my line goes back to the classic HBs I got from George 6 years ago.  They were all Silver Standard fin.  The Zebra, and the veil, and the PS and the wild type spots on some of their bodies all came from Zebras that I got from Angels plus.
