P14 F2 after 4 months

[rayman]

Hi David,

F2?
so 2 unrelated P14 had babies for you and then you bred 2 of those babies together to get these?

The term F2 is not only used in line breeding.
In management of captive populations F0 are all wildcaught animals, F1 are all of their offspring and F2 is offspring of F1 x F1 (related and unrelated) and F0 x F1 (related and unrelated) animals.

How these terms are used for captive populations you can see here:

Thanks all!

Yes correct; about 3 years ago I bought 2 females and 1 male from different breeders (F1). This trio gave birth to the ray on this pic.

Nice ray. I'm amazed at how quick their patterns begin to change. Keep us updated I'd like to see how the development progresses on it.
