Hi everyone.
Something that has been niggling away at my brain for a while now.
If I have a female and a male tort together for 1yr and she lays fertile eggs to this male, then for a further 2yrs I keep the female on her own away from any males, then in the 4th year put her in with a different male, then she lays some more fertile eggs. Are the 2nd batch of eggs to the 1st male, 2nd male, or a mix of both?
I'm trying to work out that if I wanted pure bred cherryheads, how long would I have had to have kept the female cherries away from my male northerns before I could guarantee that the offspring are 100% from the male cherryhead.
Jeeze, hope yo understood that.lol
Thank you
Craig
