| Just a quick update. I currently have a new batch of Gold Morph JDs, and a spawn from my main Stud regular JD and his new lady. He's a Player, and when I moved him and his "Former" girlfriend into the 100 Gal., he quickly found the hottest Babe in the tank, and made his move. I estimate about 500 wigglers in the breeding pit right now. I'm not moving them, so I expect most to become a protein source. I do plan on moving this pair to one of my outdoor ponds next month for the summer.
My biggest EBJD is still hanging out with his Gold lady, so keep your fingers crossed.

| Sweet, I wish I had room for some of those future juvis.

| The gold fry are still doing fine. My gold pair have their own tank. My regular JD pair managed to keep their fry for five days free-swimming. The last fry were eaten last night. Considering they are currently housed in a 100 gal. with six other dempseys, six Africans, and an 8 inch Synodontis euptera cat, I am highly impressed with their parental instinct. As I said, I plan to move them to a pond when the weather gets a little warmer, or at least to their own tank.

| Good idea with moving them in the summer outdoors, if it is anything like this summer, you are looking at the water at a paerfect temp. in the 74-77F zone. Goodluck |
