Don't want to hijack your thread, but I just had my last GBR die on me this week (a balloon). I've lost 5 GBRs, the longest lasted about a month. Is their any advice you can give me? I know I could have avoided at least 2 of those losses because in my anxiousness to find a female, I convinced myself that the red are on the GBR's belly area indicated a female, even thought the GBR was probably to young to show those signs, and it wasn't the proper the pink belly description I heard about.
Any help?
