R.I.P. to the prettiest male Hoehnelli Ive ever seen:(

[showjet95]

this male was huge when I got him so no telling how old he was. Days like these are always hard. He was the best eater, most aggressive male I had ever had. Also had the biggest casque Ive ever seen on a hoehnelli.
Luckily, he fathered a couple clutches of babies (29) that are all healthy little things and already showing AMAZING colors at about one month of age. Not your typical Hoe's thats for sure!

in memory... and this pic does him NO justice and dont really show how electric turquoise he was.

Sorry for your loss...

I have two juvenile hoehnelli, and if they turn out half as good as him, I'd be delighted

Im sorry. he was very beautiful

Well, it must be a consolation to know he had continued the bloodline before he passed on, so good luck for the babies

It is never easy losing our little buddies. Sorry for your loss. I remember seeing a picture of him a while back and thinking he was very unique and a real stunner. It is great that you have added those genetics to the captive population. It would be wonderful to see another one like him some day!

I will be making a waiting list for the babies, first come first to go on the list. I will be keeping a small group for myself, so it will be a couple of months to see how they develope and what colors they each get.
Im liking the name Papa Smurf for the sire
