finally i have 3 pairs of gouldians on eggs. i have a pair of split to blues, a blue female and a split which im stoked about and a pair of normals doing really well. Im really excited ive been trying to breed my blues for over a year now and finally there showing a bit of success. All im hoping for now is that this bloody heat wont harm the eggs. i lost about 12 goulds in january due to the extreme heat. taking all precautions now though

fingers crossed for you. Its worrying enough with the normals, it must be nail biting, edge of the seat :shock: with blues. Hopefully my turn will come with the blues.

Think I'll stick to normals and the odd yellow.

Wow, i am envious! I wish you continued sucesses. I only have a pair of Y,R, and B head normals, but my wish list is for a YB or YB pair in the near future. I will be patient and wait until the winter is over tho. Look forward to your pics and news.
