Nice to see the start of your Quad red cac's, hopefully they will become more common as i dont know too many people who have them, and the few i do have now lost theirs lets hope we can get the offspring to carry the gene and get this colour form going

Brilliant, looking forward to hopefully hearing that you have bred these and that they carry the same strain, have you put a female carrying same gene with him?

 

[peterclarke666]

yes male and female of last batch from my quad reds but also contain the gold gene as bred male quad red with female gold but also got the triple reds that have the quad red gene from steve barlow

 

[Dano1311]

If you got a spare female with quad red gene feel free to let me know. I can put her in with the wild x orange flash male I got from Apisto Dave see if can strengthen gene with wild. Sure we can sort out an exchange for something

Here is one of my quads.....I lost the mother (jumped out during cleaning) and the male (unknown as he looked normal on the outside), but I have fry that are growing out and keeping my fingers crossed.

he is stunning Krudolph, one of best examples i have seen hoping the quad reds become more readily available as haven't seen many here in the UK.
