Originally, I had mentioned that my source was a cross between a W.Turq and a blue Diamond. luckily, I found a small hobbyist/breeder that had what I was looking for :-) They had the true Wattley coloration, sheen and even the 'mild/medium' red eyes. The juvenile striation is exactly the way it should be at the age they are now. The only thing that is a little out of kilter is they are slightly higher bodied than the original line. As you guys all know, this is easily rectified with a back cross to a wild full sheen royal green. This cross will be my first goal as they reach spawning age late this fall.
I will be going on holidays in a day or two but will post pictures and give a little more info. when I get back :-)
Take care all !!!!!
