    Default Keith's a grampa

    So about a year ago I recieved 6 young RT's from Keith, spent alot of time with this group and managed to get two suspected pair's... well last week I confirmed one of them..
    laid eggs on temp. strip...

    moved them after hatching to the cone...

    moved them back again...

    and finally are free swimming


    congrats again Grampa...

    Hey Jason,

    Congrats man.
    Superb looking RT pair. How many fry do you suspect made it.
    I could only wish my RT's start to pair off soon.
    Keep us updated Jay.

    Proud h e l l, anxious to get a dozen and work on the Perkins Turquoise line. Those parents are nice, and Jay has the only F2s I know of.

    Congrats to both of you.

    I had the pleasure of seeing these parents in person a few weeks ago, and it is a very nice looking strain.

    Thank's everyone, these two have really surprised me with how well they have done on their first go at raising fry... I think it's safe to say that pair #1 is indeed proven.... Now to try the other suspected pair!!!

    Congrats Jay, so nice when they get it right on the first go. I have watched the Cuipeau X females eat their eggs for months. It would literally be wild if the Tefe's are my first confirmed pair. Good luck with the second pair. May the Perkins line get a firm foundation.

    They look stunning, man! I really love Red Turqs and the pair you have there is full of potential. Raise F2 to adult size, then get something nice and matching from Hudson and have some more fun!
