I was not aware of that Dragonfly. And I am a little surprised, having spawned showa twice before with nowhere near this many deformities. Maybe I was just lucky and that luck has run out. Perhaps Delbert can give his thoughts on the prevalence of showa X showa deformities, since he has spawned showa several times. Others here have spawned showa to showa as well and may be able to tell of their experience. Sounds like Orlando is having similar experience with shiro utsuri. I may have an opportunity to introduce a shiro utsuri to the mix in future years, as I am watching a few grow up from previous spawns.
I definitely agree. Maybe not in the first 3 weeks of so since they are so small, but after that, certainly. This was my first time to use a little aquarium, but I plan to make it a regular deal going forward.
