Bred a virgin male Sunglow Stripe to a virgin female Sunglow Motley.
Wasn't sure how this breeding would turn out since they only bred once. IOW After the initial, & only, breeding ...they showed absolutely no interest, in one another, the couple of other times that they were put together (a few days apart each time).
After awhile, there were a couple of the typical signs, of being gravid & of impending lay, which gave me some hope.
Well, the female laid 15 eggs, on 03-12-09, ... and all 15 appear to be fertile.
Now to keep fingers crossed in that the eggs survive and for some beautiful babies to, eventually, hatch out (planning on keeping a pair or, likely, a trio from this pairing).
Here are photos of the eggs (just after putting them into a container) and of the proud parents (photos, of parents, were taken at the end of '08):
