    Default leopard x blue diamond

    Hi, I have a female blue diamond pairing up with a nice large leopard male. What will be the outcome?

    Depends on the genetics of the leopard, but you shouldn't get any BD out of that batch. Mainly leopards and possibly some turq throwbacks. Really hard to say without knowing the quality of the leopard.

    Thank's Eddie,
    In quality you mean how pure in genetics, or just how beautiful is the leopard? I no it is a very nice spotted leopard form tony Tan.

    Yes, how established/strong the genetics are. I'm sure its top quality if its Tony Tans.

    YES, they did it. 60-70 baby's free zwimming for 4 days now. The parents doing great. Can not take any pics. When i come close with my camera the mother looks like she wants to eat me. Very aggressive. I'll try again in a few days.

    Sorry it took a while. I have to put theme all but 4 to sleep. They all had problems with there fins or gillplates. My fold for sure didnt have time to make sure the waterquality was good.
    The good news is the parents have about 100 wriggles on the cone ready to go freeswimming about tomorrow morning. I have better hope for this batch because the water quality is better now.
    The first batch were mostly leopards i think some blue diamonds and some snakeskins
    Thanks for watching i post pictures soon.

    Thank's everybody.
    The wrigglers getting closer en closer together now. Some are swimming to the parents already.
    Pic's are a bit of a problem because the parents are very agressive. So i will wait a few days till i think it's alright.
