I think it's a good result, I'd be well happy with that.

i'd like to keep 1.2 or 1.3. wont need any more than that, so presuming they feed etc then there will be some to go at some point.
yes very happy, after feeling down to start with, its probably a bonus overall rather than what i could have got.
i put the male to the right female next year so that should sort me out with an opal stripe i hope.

1st 10 have perfect stripes, the 11th has a broken stripe.
2 more left in the eggs when i last looked.
i did a little sexing, got 3 deffo males, 4/5 that i reckon ill be female and 2 that had crusty butts so i will leave them until after they shed lol.
either way, it looks like i will have more females than males, which means i should have surplus pairs in the end.
i weighed the smallest one, its my 2nd smallest corn ever, just ahead of titch (for those who rememeber), and its 3 grams lol

Doing better on sex ratios than we are, so far 9 males and 3 females

well i'll be honest, they are small so i didnt want to put too much effort into it.
3 were deffo males and a couple i didnt try.. so even if i got the others right i only have 6 females.. i might still have a lot more males, but we'll see.
i think i will try again in a month once they have eaten a few pinks... gotta try and find some now, small ones lol..
funny thin with the pattern, the mum has an aweful stripe, i seriously doubted she was a stripe when i bought her... just shows you, sometimes the look ISNT always as important as the genetics you want.

My opal motleys were absolutely tiny this year, have a few of them on pinkies but most could only take pink heads when they were born... was scrounging through bags of hundreds of pinks to find the tiny tiny ones. One of the amel motleys het snopals has tripled in weight in 3 meals too.

[cornmorphs]

i expect these will do the same. my other clutch, i have a couple of them on 2 pinks. they hatched at about 8 grams, they are from big, quick growing parents.
