Congrats crystal! Now comes the long wait.
Has anyone tried breeding their silver eyed males to a non silver eyed female yet? I'm curious to find out what kind of trait the silver eyed trait is (simple recessive, co-dom, etc). I'm assuming it's going to end up being simple recessive. But ya never know until you actually try. I don't have an extra females to try it with. Maybe I'll buy a cheap non-locale specific female to give it a try on.

I think if you try that.. I'd recommend starting with a Jahore locality animal to cross it with since these guys do come from the Jahore region.

I disagree. No matter what locale you use, if it's not a silver eye, it's not going to truly be "locale specific" anyway. So what's the point of using an expensive pure Johore? IMHO using an unknown locale female would be best for experimentation like this. An unknown locale female is always going to produce unknown locale babies no matter who fathers the babies. Might as well use them for something productive like finding out more specifics of this silver eyed trait.
