David,

The tails of your BBRs look great and promising. The body length of the bbrs are also long and of good proportions. Thumbs up.

They are a bit skinny though. It is normal for bbrs at this stage/age OR did you starve them a bit for WC and phototaking?

Looking forward to their pics when they are bigger.

Hi PY,
Thanks! They are now still in the fries form, sud be able to see their tummy in a weeks time. I don't take any risk starving fries, as it will be effort down the drain if stunned.
I will try to update them weekly, coz I guess it might be interesting for those who'll like to try spawning them one day.

Hi,
Thanks! I suppose they are not underfed.

Hello,
Normally, 95 to 98 % cull.
At the moment, I've culled about 80% liao.

Hi,
I flush my culled away.
At this stage, only the tail and easily detectable flaw.

Frankly, easy visible flaw sud be gone by now. I'm culling once I see a not too good tail as long as I have the time. And each time I'm becoming more stringent, but yet, I couldn't cull many.
So, the problem I can forsee will be the timing and in arranging for collection. I don't mind giving away my cull, but will not like to give myself extra burden and time wastage! Not talking about the predicted excuses I'm gonna get and end up taking up my own space keeping an extra tub of cull waiting for collection!

No thanks! I'm really too busy with the fries, travelling to buy their food every morning, my children exams etc.etc...Definitely not in the mood to entertain pilots. I'll inform when I have the time to be pilotted.
