Well, here they are an hour after getting to me. Not all of them wanted to pose for pictures. They're still young 3.5-4" and just starting to color out.

The reflection deeps yes, the two of them are awesome. If the blue knight picks up in growth, it will also be used. The leopard diamonds are essentially fancy red turquoises that I am gonna used to cross into my exisiting turqs, and the Spotted Eruptions (fancy name for Leopard Snakeskins) are still out, they have good shape, but spotting is lacking, they have some but not as much as I would like to be seeing at this age. However, they are snakeskins so I could always just use them to cross with my existing snakes.
The RDs and BKs are extremely high bodied fish (BKs are one of the only strains in the world that commonly can reach 10" in length) but if you look at the RDs and BKs (again essentially the same strain, but MOST BKs will outsize the RDs, not the case with the one I got, but he was a freebie so I can't complain) Most spotted strains aren't extremely round, so you take something like a BK or RD, who even when severely stunted will still appear round, and cross them into the spotted strain to get a rounder fish. I may do that with them, or simply just spawn them together and get more RDs/BKs
