My Chris Butcher line is starting to settle in nicely. I’m going to cross them with my blue line once they’re old enough.

The brother of my brute male HRP bred with one of the females I got from Ken Davis's batch that looks like a convict before I got rid of Ken's line. Only a few offspring made it bc I didn't care to save them. But I did notice that most of them were convict like with reddish tail while two blue ones look decent. I don't intend to breed the convict look a likes but plan to test breed the blue ones to see if they'll still make convict look a likes. If they do, I will scrap that batch and keep the two blue ones just for a show tank.
SHE MADE IT
She made it!?!?! Wow!!
I’m so glad she endured that, usps should be ashamed of themselves. You have to name her “lucky” now lol
This is so wild...your situation reminds me of my delivery of both male pink hrps. Delivery IN TRANSIT several days in a heat wave...box arrived leaking and I thought they were cooked. But Mongo and Slade were fine! After a couple hours of settling in they started fighting, lol. These hrps are tough little snoogas!
These are the 4 offspring that survived from the brother to my brute male and one of Ken's convict-y females. Most of the convict look alikes became feeders at a young age but one managed to survive. He's the one that looks like convict but with a red tail. I circled it in red and numbered it #4 bc it's one of the 4 surviving siblings. Siblings numbers one through three circled in blue are siblings to the convict look alike. Out of the whole batch, these 3 were the only 3 with colors so I saved them to see how the would turn out. They have more of a sky blue color to them like their dad did. I plan to cross them to see if they'll still throw out convict look alikes. If so, they'll be scrapped too.
Disregard the one I circled in green. It's a completely different batch of HRP and I'll update and post about that batch at another time. This green line is probably my second favorite line just behind my brute male line. They resemble more of what a HRP would look like to me out of the ones I have so I intend to keep the line.
Thoughts on the pattern of this one? Currently my pride and joy. Compare to a straight barred one from wetspot
