Finally, we have the youngest! As expected, it closely resembles its Tri Extreme Harlequin siblings. With so many siblings, I can now see the range of secondary trait colors—some lean more toward yellow, while others are closer to orange (tangerine), creating a spectrum in between.

As always, it’s difficult to distinguish the secondary trait color right after hatching. I guess I still need more experience. However, the dorsal tertiary traits are clearly prominent.

The lateral wall is also developing nicely, and the bold tiger pattern is striking. Of course, not every pattern is strictly a tiger pattern—there are likely brindle influences mixed in. But since most of the patterns lean toward tiger, I won’t separate them too distinctly.

he overall coverage, the arrangement of pins from head to dorsal, and the pattern distribution make it hard to tell these Tri Extreme Harlequin siblings apart. But in my eyes, they all look beautiful.

Now, regarding the markings I mentioned earlier: out of the eight siblings, four have visible spots of varying sizes. However, none have more spots than their father, Bobby. Of course, since markings can develop as they grow, I will continue to observe and record any changes in the second update post.
