Hi Patrick
They look fantastic, theyr'e so preety well done your'e doing a great job! Ive mated my girl again today its been just over 5 weeks since she laid her first clutch of 13, sadly 3 were infertile so thought Id best mate her again in case she lays again & they would all be infertile she was well up for it! just hope Ive done the right thing?

thanks alot!
how old are your eggs now Brad ?

@ jack
if you could see them live you would see the difference in coloration ( males getting more brown now and also getting a blue crest now and females turning into the green color which is known from the adults) and the backfin is more seen at the males! i m not sure to sex anyone right now, but i m sure on most of them!

Is my jealousy obvious Congrats-they're beautiful!

 

[Brad Ramsey]

how old are your eggs now Brad ?

I am checking them often now, they are 12 days away from 9 months.
The babies I have are doing quite well, I'm not confident enough to determine sex for sure yet.

Patrick,

Your cristatus baby is so blue/green. Mine are more brown, beige and green but no blue color in them. Does this last photo show a baby with edema? The gular area looks swollen but if that's just swallowing motion, then it would explain it.

Congratulations on the success you're having. I hatched out a clutch (captive hatched, not bred) in late January and am expecting a true captive bred clutch sometime late summer.

Hi ,

no i dont think it s an edama.
i ve kept three females and all do have these coloration.
The new babies are more brown but are only two weeks old now.

@ heather

try to keep the temperature not warmer than 22°C.
because the reason is, that they will hatch to early and are not as large and save as when they were bred a bit cooler. my 2nd clutch hatched 1,5 months earlier than the first clutch, cause the tempareture in my room has been warmer this time.

Patrick
