Awaiting the Pop

I offered some pinky parts yesterday. 4 out of the 14 took some.
Worms don't stand a chance with this group but I'll get them switched to pinkies as soon as I can.
I'll get an updated photo posted soon.

Here's an updated photo.
These babies ate their first salmon today. They are growing nicely.
So far all are doing well.
14 must be a lucky number.

About radix babies... I got a couple of double hets from Don and one of the two was only barely noticeably smaller than the other. The smaller one being the male. Well, they both eat well but for some reason, the female has really grown like crazy and is now about twice the size of the male. I have only raised one other baby radix and that would be the '09 iowa albino "Amy" (also from Don) Amy is definitely grown up now, about 2 feet.

Is this unusual Steve? I mean two babies eating well but one growing so much faster? I ask because I notice some size differences in that litter. I'm wondering why my male is lagging so far behind his sister. Amy grew big and fast and is the only other male radix I've raised. This new male just isn't growing much, although he's strong and healthy. He's the one in my video with the bad attitude. His sister now makes him look so puny in comparison but when I got them, they were nearly the same size.

Nothing unusual about that. I've seen it in litters before. I've also seen the opposite.
A group of het. albinos have most of the males out growing the female. I think in time that will change and the girls will pull ahead.
