Black Veils

[Mugwump]

Yeppers, I believe they may be....should be about 10-12 months old??....I sold the parents in the spring/late spring?? I saved a half dozen, or so, for Jan....she likes them. ...look at pic #2 , if you'll notice the flash doesn't pick up any underlying bars...that's because it's D/D S/S.......black velvet,,,
some are D/+ S/S..black 'Turq's....check yours, I know a couple of std veils popped out of that spawn to...but big veiled for std..pretty....a streaked gene may pop out of this line too....

The parents were D/g S/S - D/g S/+....they produced
12.50%   D/D - S/+ Black(dd) Ghost
12.50%   D/D - S/S Black(dd) Velvet
25.00%   D/g - S/+ Hybrid Black Ghost
25.00%   D/g - S/S Hybrid Black Velvet
12.50%   g/g - S/+ Gold Ghost
12.50%   g/g - S/S Gold Blushing

That same pic doesn't pick up a gold sheen either....altho some may carry it still, likely the 'Turqs' , the D/g S/S...called velvet above because the gold is recessive and isn't expressing. Gold was introduced to black breeding years ago to make them less deleterious, thus providing stronger fry.

You must have read my mind.  I was thinking about the genotype for these just a minute ago.  I think I see a little gold sheen at times. I thought it was my eyes playing trick on me again.  LOL.  Anyway I love these guys too.
