♂ DH Sunglow X ♀ Het Albino, Possible "Groovy" Coral

This Groovy coral-line het albino that was born here on New Years Day 2004 was bred by a DH sunglow male, and had been looking good but not great. She was one of those that we were just hoping wouldn't completely slug out but would go full term and give us SOME babies. We're not greedy, we don't ask for litters of 30 from all our girls, we only ask that they give us SOME -LOL! And, she did exactly that - mixed in with the 16 slugs we were very grateful to see one sunglow, five 66% possible DH sunglows, and two 66% possible het albinos, all of them possible "Groovy" coral!

The Sire of this litter is not much to look at as DH sunglows go, but he does have an excellent pedigree - he was produced by Bill Gaines from a Rich Ihle-produced Salmon-hypo and a Pete Kahl-produced albino!

Sire: DH Sunglow

This first photo of mama and litter is through the glass and a bit flashed out because mama was a bit.......

Sadly, the little sunglow had a couple of serious spinal deformities and after getting a few photos from his best angles we had no choice but to euthanize him.

Nevertheless, we were very pleased with the SOME that we got - it really does make the cleanup go much more pleasantly when you know that there are new little ones to look at when you're done!

This litter also revealed a foolproof marker to determine which of the possible DH sunglows will prove out - just look for the % symbol on the tail -LOL!
