    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Boy, I don't think ANYTHING changes quite as much as a leo hatchling, though fat tail hatchlings are a close second.

Here are two of our first leos of the year, both ended up being holdback, when they hatch Jan 27th, 06....

And here they are now, less than 3 months later...

First Yin, the bright one on top in the hatchling pic....

She's amazing!

And Bumble Bee, the darker one in the hatchling pic....

And just for a little through in, here's BB, our little fatties that hatched out in late Dec....

Blows me away to see the changes....

Thanks for looking!
 
Thanks Jeremy, I can;t wait to see what is produced when I pair her with my male holdback, got my fingers crossed for some SMOKING hybinos! Either way, should end up with some very nice tang bells and hets... but yeah, the hybinos are what I am praying for!
 
They're looking great Cory! You should get plenty of hybinos. Almost all the Bells we're hatching from this seasons shtc het Bells are going hybino. The trick's going to be producing deep orange hybinos...looks like your first holdback will take care of that. :) Great looking FT too!
 
Thanks guys, yeah Paul, the male is much the same, as well as another female holdback I have.... the reason I am holding back the second above is due to its size and as well as its pattern. The second one is HUGE and is 35+ grams already...
