LOTS of questions!!

First off, i've had Eliza for about 6 months and was wondering what morph she was.

Second- Eval has been with me for less than a month and i was wondering the same thing about him...

* his name is Eval because he jumps....alot...off of Anything. and he bites :/

**Just a note about his tail, the petstore i got him from said that he lost it at somepoint during his life but it seems to have grown back nicely

Just a few more- i just recently purchased uth's for each tank and they run about 90 deg, is that ok? it is their only source of heat since i recently removed their lights. On that note- the only light they have comes from my bedroom window- i figured that would give them a more realistic photoperiod.

Any help with my plethora of questions would be much appreciated!!!

I would call Eliza a Hypo Tangerine and Eval a High Yellow. It sounds like you're temps and lighting situation are adequate. Hopefully Eval settles down a little! It's no fun getting bit constantly.

thanks

thanks a bunch for the quick response!! yea, he actually shakes his tail and stalks your fingers, no bueno...
ok- new question...hypothetically if i were to breed them, what would they make?
ooh and another question- how do i tell if my female is ovulating?

You'd get babies that look like a mix of the two of them. Some with lots of spots, some with less, some with more tangerine, some with less.

You can tell if a female is ovulating when you can see a pink spot in the middle of their belly that looks like a pink pencil eraser. They can start ovulating as young as yours is but need to be about a year old and over 50g to be healthy enough to breed. A lot of complications can arise if they're too small so make sure they don't come in contact with each other until you're ready for them to breed.

thanks again...i was just wondering about the ovulating thing...the male is wayyy to small anyway, they actually met last night, with 2 layers of glass between them... i think Eliza would eat him if given the chance lol.
