Barbie,
Well, I should know if its a genetic thing, when I hatch out eggs from the pair.
The babies will be F2's. So, I hope that it proves out wrong and just a fluke. I
dont want to start a blood-line of biting henkelis.
I have had the same experience with feeding pinks to my breeders, and the babies
that hatched out were great feeders and strong.
TQ
