Top diamond!!
Yeh ,but the reall reason there is few black diamonds around is because they dont do as well as the some of the sus high yellow ones around and other creations generally.Thats been my experience over the years and the experience of allot of other keepers,many of the wild diamonds that have been put into the system legally and illegally are dead.Ive noticed that yours and fayes seem to have really small clutches etc if you had some carpet blood in there behold they would be more fertile etc.I can see why the Barkers at VPI gave up on diamonds and the imformation they gave on them that they usually breed once etc isnt too far off the mark.If they done well in captivity we would have heaps in sydney,gosford and wollongong and they would all be pure diamonds,but that isnt the case.
