[Killietalk] Korthausae Hockey Sticks

["Paul Murphy" <pmurf at epix_net>]

Hi Folks,

     

      I just recently hatched some N. Korthausae "Red" .  They are about 4
days old now and I've been looking at them with a magnifier to see if they
were eating ok.  They seem to be as most of them have a little pimple for a
belly.  But they all seemed to be shaped like a hockey stick.  At the point
behind the head just about over their belly the tail end bends down at about
a 30-40 degree angle.  I've only hatched these once before about two months
ago but lost them all after about two weeks.  Not sure why.  But I recall
they were similarly bent.   

 

So I was wondering if this hockey stick pose was normal for this species,
and if not, what's up wid dat? Is this characteristic of Notho's of such
tiny size?
