Here is a pic of my neotenic N.v.l .He is 4in long and still has full gills

That is definitely awesome; the full gills are pretty impressive. Thanks for sharing!

I have to ask- does he go into breeding condition?

 

[lilsoul]

Not yet but he should this year

 

[Lasher]

A great specimen James, thanks for sharing.
Do you know how old he is?

 

[Jake]

That's great James! Did it undergo the colour change to orange like an eft, or automatically get adult colouration?

Is this one you've raised yourself? It's very impressive!

 

[lilsoul]

He went straight to the adult colour and I did raise him from an egg

 

[lilsoul]

I did raise him he is almost 2 years old and he went straight to his adult colour

 

[Slimy2]

That is very neat James. Do you have any future plans to breed him?

James, this is exciting! I enjoy seeing NVL's posted, as they aren't that popular. Thanks for sharing.

How many do you keep?

 

[flyangler18]

That is very interesting. I suspect that neotony in NVL is population specific as it is with some tiger sal populations? Have you observed neotony in the population where you collected the eggs?

 

[lilsoul]

I did not collect him from the wiled he is from my adults breeding.I still have not found any here but I do get a good number of neotenic each time they breed.he will go into my breeding group I have 8 adults and I allways have larva juives from them sometimes they breed twice a year.
