Hi Pat.. these are the snakeskins from the pair. The pair throws snakeskins and turqs. I have the turqs in another tank.. Theres no wild blood in this group. These fish are from the same batch you got in the contest Pat.

Thank you!

Since I am focused on snakeskin crosses I didnt keep alot of them.. I do have I think 6. This pair is my favorite of the turq lot.

Nice snakeskins Al, just curious is better 14 bars snakeskins x 9 bars leopard or 18 bars snakeskins x 18 bars snakeskins ( Super Panthera x Super Panethera)?

[brewmaster15]

Thanks Francis,
Im afraid I dont know much of the Genetics of the Pantheras ...I haven't bred any. Brian might be able to add his experiences as our resident spotted breeder.

The only snakeskins I have bred are 14 bar.

From my experience, I've gotten a larger percentage of LSS when breeding LSS to Leopard. I would assume the same thing is true about Panthera's, which makes the loss of my Panthera Leopard even more depressing.

But, I've seen some interesting results from my Ruby Red. x Meteor as far as the Leopards they produce. Here's a couple of Cary's I sent him. It not only resembles a Panthera Leopard, but a Ring Panthera Leopard, lol...
