I did a Karashi female X Yamabuki male cross last year and the metallic sheen didn't quite come through as I had expected it to. Had some very...

There is quite a range of yellow hues. At this stage, I like the Yamabuki cross better.

I like Ray's pitch, and if he ever held a garage sale I'm sure that his table was empty at the end of the day! Can't blame him for trying though....

Yes, that last video was actually a few days shy of 3 weeks and am at 3 weeks and a day now. There's more of a size differential with the fry, but...
