getting a female ready - Page 3

(RC) · 03-20-2005, 07:17 PM

I work Blacks, and greens. I'm working Double Blacks after years of working Melano blacks becuase I see better blacks coming from the double Black line.My greens are coming from iridescent/metallic crosses because I feel that is the way to produce the best true greens. I'm also playing around with some imbellis/splenden crosses.

RC, i am messing with the imbellis gene too. can you tell me your experience of that? thanks.

frogyetta · 03-20-2005, 08:16 PM

Wow, RC do you have any double tail blacks for sale?

(RC) · 03-21-2005, 03:13 AM

Currently all My Blacks are St or Plakat. I do need to work some DT's into my lines because I don't think anyone has DT "double Blacks" yet. I did just upate my web site with what will be available soon.

The Imbellis crosses set the finnage way back. I haven't seen anything special for color yet, but I haven't crossed them into splendens long.

Frogyetta,

Do you know who was the breeder of the melano's you bought ?What show was it at ?

RC

frogyetta · 03-23-2005, 04:58 AM

Ummmm, I will try and look it up. I THINK I still have the papers, just finding them is another mater, I am not very organized

(RC) · 03-23-2005, 10:25 AM

About when was the show ?

RC

frogyetta · 03-23-2005, 01:23 PM

(RC) · 03-23-2005, 06:24 PM

RC

frogyetta · 03-23-2005, 07:04 PM

(RC) · 03-24-2005, 01:26 PM

Thanks, AND I have a successfull spawn last night, only about 50 eggs. but what can I say, both of them were kind of small

Try placing another male close to the tank so that he can see him. A little competition never hurt anyone. I got mine to spawn with another male in the tank

and it was only a 5ga ( I did think that it was another female, turned out to be an immature male) and I'd leave them a lil longer than 3 days. I ended up leaving mine for about a week+2 days ****with a total tank clean out after 5 days.

Sorry, didn't realize there was 4 pages of posts, only read the first and replied. Congrats on ur spawn. Hope it all goes well. Out of my spawn I only have one fry left

and i originally had close to 200. Had problems hatching BBS and keepiong them alive for feeding as it is now I have 2 tanks of BBs and in one tank they've all died and in the other most have also died but there are still about a dozen alive, I' ve been feeding my fry the dead ones aswel as live. And to make matters worse I think my son threw out my brine shrimp eggs, and I got them for free and can't afford to buy any more. So i'm pretty well stuffed. Good Luck to you though.

frogyetta · 04-02-2005, 07:48 PM

I always do that during breeding, hope you try spawning again and have better luck. I think im blind b/c I have about 100 fry floating around

frogyetta · 04-21-2005, 06:14 PM

*spawn update* A group of about 75 lived. All seem healthy and I didnt have to cull any for a curveds spine. I am hopeing To have some nice HM. I have some nice pure black ones. They have a nice solid black and look to not be 'lacey'
