Are the blue glitters from your stock,or did you buy them.
How many do you have?

..both spawns progressing right along.....the 'het' blue marbles are wiggling so hard that they're shaking the tank....LOL

..the blue glitters are looking good for a first spawn....not as many tho as the 'het's....

How are the blue glitters doing,do you have a ton of them.
I would like to  get some,assuming I have the cash when they are ready.

I need to pull another spawn....the first was small, and didn't do well.....they've been 'almost' raising.....but the 'learners permit' period is over....

How big would you need them ?

Post by: ghonk on April 24, 2018, 09:14:58 AM
Any size would work,but prefer the budget size. ;D
I saw you mention Speedee delivery before,sounds like a good option for me,if possible.

Mine are likely offspring from that pair..... huh

I love glitters and snakeskins,but from what I read it takes a while to develop,so unless you are planning to growing out a ton of them you may be letting go of some of your best fish.

Some of Ken's were awesome,and I have been checking out some of Steffen Rothe's fish on facebook,what he has done with glitter and OTHER traits is amazing.

The overage on this one in fantastic.

Title: Re: Blue glitters
Post by: Mugwump on April 28, 2018, 05:21:28 PM
..on my bunch, they started showing up at near 1/2 dollar sized.....one earlier than that.....and yup, it continues to express better as they mature.... |^|

First time I heard of them was when Carol and a guy got some Platinum marbles with the trait.
Carol worked with snakeskins  for years,and I assume still does.
I wanted to get some for a long time,but either had other projects going or didn't have the money for the stock.

She eventually went to breeding almost all veils,which I don't like in general.
She also breeds a lot of Paraibas,which the trait  won't show well on.
Maybe I will contact her and see if she ever has any standard juvies available.
