    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....

I picked this guy up at a show a few years back. He was a bush baby in an aquarium with about 50 other normal looking animals. He was slightly lighter than the bunch and after examining him, I noticed he had a clear belly. He reminded me of something in between a Russo and a special...just not as bright.

He was a problem feeder and it took me a few seasons to get him up to size. Since then he has gradually lightened over time. I bred him to a Kingpin female last year and he got the job done. Only one animal out of that clutch was different looking (a triple combo female). I thought it might have been a fluke and decided to try him with a few females this year. I have three clutches out of the egg with one more to hatch any day now and one due in a month from now. So far I've produced a handful of combos and a few base morphs. The gene brightens and cleans up pattern. At the very least, he has proven to be a co-dom.

I've decided to name the morph Stella, if that name has not already been taken.

Stay tuned...pics of some of the babies will be coming soon.

Here is a quick sample of what the gene does. Kingpin and Stella Kingpin. Cleans up, lightens and brightens. I will be posting more pics soon of the baby base morphs by themselves as well as quite a few other combos.
Thanks
