D. tinctorius Pics!

[jbherpin]

It has been a long time since I have been active, but I wanted to share some pics of my darts.

They are D. tinctorius, Suriname Cobalt color-morph. They are still quite young. As of now I have 3 metamorphs and a tad with all 4 limbs, but is showing obvious signs of SLS. It angers me, but nature is as cruel as it is beautiful...(I will include a pic of the SLS tad for judgement)

Also, these darts are siblings, and therefore cannot be morally paired and bred. If anyone is looking for new bloodline to introduce into a breeding group, let me know. I am very interested in a trade when I am able to accurately sex them in a few months. The parents are from "Mac's Poison", and the other from an independant breeder in Ravenna, OH. Both were confirmed Suriname Cobalts, and are genetically distinct from eachother.

I forgot to mention something... The first being why I fear SLS in the developing tad. Although the legs appear a little thin, but maybe "OK", he does not move them at all. Never are the arms in a diff position. The other 3 tads would actually use the front limbs when swimming and probing about, and would tuck them close to the sides often. This tad just lets them basically hang there.
