Keith B Posted June 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Thanks Blade. Different parents, but not as different as I hoped, offspring. Faster growing, more bulk but much slower fading meaning longer retention of juvies when I am always looking for more tank space. One grand-dad had a reasonable kok so here is hoping. One more generation to go and if I have not cracked it then I am going out of red texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith B Posted June 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 Longer bodied males from the second generation from the SGT parent Angry. Are some people getting faders in the F1 generation? There don't appear to be noticeable fertility problems in males but I have only bred from a few - so I don't know what percentages are like. The original females have been KKP, BP and a pearly FH fader. I have heard there are male fertility problems if midevil/midas/devil are paired with SGT but I don't know this for sure.

blade87 Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 usually a first gen cross with kkp or bp will result in infirtile males so the rumour sais Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
