Some new Hamburg cresties

[Hypancistrus]

I picked up a couple Hamburg cresties today.

This is Hagrid, a super sweet pinstripe harlequin from Crestie Central.


Mirax, a harlequin female from Sticky Feet Reptiles.


And lastly, Pearl. Pearl is slightly crazy. She just ran all over her new house, through her new food and is now finger painting on the glass. Pearl is also from Sticky Feet Reptiles.

That pinstripe is great!
I also have a kiddo from Sticky Feet Reptiles. Diablo is my little Tricolor Harley who looks pretty similar to your little one.
He's the bottom one without his tail.
His future mate is on top, Ember. She's from Gorgeous Geckos.
They both need to do a little growing but at the rate their going, they should be ready to go next year.

Nice! They look like they could be siblings!

What's funny is that when they are fired up, they look so similar! But when they fire down they are completely opposite. Embers base is a greenish hint and her oranges stay very orange. Diablos a very chocolate and yellow base and his oranges fire down to a pale chocolate. Either way, I'm so ready to see what kinds of kids they'll give. Waiting is the hardest part. At least they're growing fast.

It's amazing how much color variation you can see in them between the two stages. My one female who is gravid is this ashy grey color when fired down. It's like she's wearing a veil. But she is quite pretty when fired up. Chocolate and red-orange.

They are extraordinary little gremlins! The color variations are phenomenal sometimes.
I also found your facebook page and liked it! It's so wonderful to know so many awesome people in this hobby.
