Pups 24/08/15

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
so were these trev;s pups that you bred? They look great! Is the momma leo hen?

Thanks man. Future mom is one of trev's. The mom I was told is pure leo, but I myself am not sure, I have come across a few similar looking leo-hen's so that's definitely a possibility. She wasn't kept in good conditions, sat in a dirty pet store for months in a tiny tank till I finally saved up enough for her. She has 2 distinct heater burn scars on her stomach, so I thought that her small spots were as a result of being kept really poorly in the early stages of life, however looking at other's leo-hens I can see a resemblance as well. Amazing mother though, held for 152 days, bounced back really well, even after being stuck again. Proud as hell of her, I was happy from the beginning about picking her up, and now she thanks me!
 

1 month update. Watch it in 1080p, honestly Go-pro uploading to youtube at 1080/60 really sucks, the video is so much better on my home computer, but don't have the time to mess with the encoding so this is what I got. They are getting a whole lot darker and spots are becoming a lot more prominent.
 
Very nice pups, congrats. What are you feeding the pups? I am having a hard time with my pups, one eats anything, the other only eats earth worms and Mysis shrimp, another only eats earth worms and live black worms and the last one will only eat live black worms, and they are all about a month old now from the same litter.
 
Thanks everyone. I started with chopped earthworms, they didnt eat for about 13 days so I think around day 10 I bought bloodworms, but I only ended up using like 4 cubes. After tehy started taking the EW down I broke pellets in with the earthworms and a few days later started withholding the EW every other feeding, now they hammer the pellets hard. Gotta pre-soak though, which works well with the small EW pieces. One of the 3 actually ate a worm day 2, and then once or twice between then and the time they all started eating.
 

I love this little guy :) He's gonna have amazing belly spotting. Other two were sold together which is nice, very happy I got to have this guy even a bit longer.
Funny little guy. Well by the time we get your 400 resealed he will ha e a nice big home if you decide to keep him lol. My 3 pups surf the rutur s all the time but ass soon as they see you watching g they stop and go to the spot I feel them... btw did you have your phone u der the water?
 
I wish I could keep him, unfortunately need to let him go for the greater good. And no video was shot with a gopro, wish YouTube would upload it in 1080/60 because it looks so much better.
