Well it looks like my breeding is finally done for the year. My females want nothing more to do with my poor males. The females are really fighting back now, so I'm calling it quits and hoping for the best. The tally:
Classic northern Fluke bred with classic northern Wasp 6x and with caramel northern Jenga 1x.
Classic northern Evita bred with classic northern Wasp 3x and with caramel northern Jenga 1x.
Pale northern Hank bred with classic northern Wasp 3x.
Caramel northern Trouble bred with classic northern Wasp 3x.
Silver tanimbar Wocket bred with WC tanimbar Cash 1x.
Irian jaya Izuru bred with irian jaya Mizu 5x.
I didn't get all the pairings I was hoping for, but I'm extremely happy with my results. My goal for next year will be to have more useful male northerns. Of my 4 breedable males, only Wasp was into it, and Jenga was only able to cope with the sweet, classic females. My caramel/pale northerns are really nasty and chase the boys around so only Wasp can deal with them. Males Skids and Pryce weren't interested in the girls, just food.
I got to witness lots of interesting behaviour. I'll have to write a post about it all sometime. Now it's time to help the females recover from all the abuse and get the males to put on some weight.
I'm working on a new website right now to display any babies I'm lucky enough to get. The domain will either be melsexotics.ca or melsexotics.com (I bought both domains, one will lead to the other). Now I just have to remember how to make websites...

I took pictures and videos. But I'm at work right now and don't have them with me. They'll be on the website when I get it up.

Re: 2012 Breeding Season
Yay 
I would have called the Northerns something like Mel's line dark Northerns or something...
I love the darkness!!!
