shadoh Posted June 29, 2011 Report Posted June 29, 2011 After jarring up more of the dragon fry today, I decided to put a divider in the growout tank and move my yellow plakat spawn out of the spare spawn tank ind into the growout too...
shadoh Posted June 29, 2011 Author Report Posted June 29, 2011 So that left me with a spare spawning tank. I spent the rest of the day trying to resist the temptation of setting up another spawn... In the end and broke down. I have decided to give this pair another go before I do the white PK spawn. I currently have 3 PK spawns and really want a long tailed spawn to break the monotony... They both look a little different to the last time I had a photo shoot with them. Gotta love that marble gene
paul Posted June 29, 2011 Report Posted June 29, 2011 Got it, Shadoh...... "And over to Dexter to calculate the compatibility score of our next couple... who will be our next Perfect Match?" Drummmmmmm rolllllllllllll............ Edit... would have made alot more sense if I could type faster and had a not so slow internet connection.... ie my post goes before your post. Oh well
shadoh Posted June 29, 2011 Author Report Posted June 29, 2011 Thanks Paul, if that means I am the Greg Evans of the betta world, I think it is time to find a new hobby *lol*
forever_and_a_day Posted June 29, 2011 Report Posted June 29, 2011 yessssssssssss! :alright: I'm sorry for your break down buttttttt, all the more fun for us! :giggle: :giggle:
melbournebetta Posted June 29, 2011 Report Posted June 29, 2011 OH this is gunna be goooooood I think I've decided that I'm into the marble gene now - particularly with the dragon or good irids over the top to mix it up! He looks like a Pollock Painting! He's the one in your Avatar yeah? "Blue Poles" Yea Yea Yea They're both very tidy fish. !
shadoh Posted June 29, 2011 Author Report Posted June 29, 2011 Thanks guys! Ness, I wouldn't touch another marble without the dragon gene now I love the look! And, yes - he is the boy in my avvy. That pic was taken on the day I bought him home...
Pyrefly Posted June 29, 2011 Report Posted June 29, 2011 Gosh, when did you sneak these in? You've got more spawns than I can keep track of.. Good luck once again! (Really dying to visit come jarring time just to see where you're going to put them all.. teehee) Play some Barry White for them :cheer:
GoldenGirl13 Posted June 29, 2011 Report Posted June 29, 2011 Dead give-away when the first line in your post contains the words "spare spawn tank" My first thought was "who you tryin' to kid, kiddo". Nice pair for a spare tank!!
Fletch Posted June 29, 2011 Report Posted June 29, 2011 Wow. He has changed......a lot. Love the look of him but I always did. Do you have ANY barrack space left now? How many fry all up to still jar? I am with Pyrefly, can't wait to see your house in three months. Lol. Good luck mate. :-)
shadoh Posted June 30, 2011 Author Report Posted June 30, 2011 Thanks guys. I am really proud to own a HM with an ENTIRE tail He is one of my favorites. @ Pyrefly - Jarring has started on the black dragons, the yellow marble PKs are next, the orange marble PKs are a good couple of months off jarring. From the way I see it, I'll onle have about 2 spawns jarred at any given time. (BTW, if this spawn is successful, I will have 4 spawns) @ Nanna Jo - Yeah, who the hell was I kidding (except for myself?) @ Busman - I like the new look, but miss his butterfly pattern. His fins have grown so much. I was looking at his AB baby photos last night and couldn't get over his growth. As for barrack space, I can always put the last 2 copper females and 1 jewel girl in the sorority tank. That will give me 3 spaces.... and if I constantly keep a pair going in the spawn tank, that's another two spots... oh, hell, who am I kidding? Um, I don't know... Oh, I can always re-build the shelf in the sorority tank. That holds about 15. WE NEED TO SELL SOME FISH!!! :rofl:
les Posted June 30, 2011 Report Posted June 30, 2011 I Like the way he is now Jarrod it gives the impresion of fethers I had to look a couple of times to figer it out thet he was your Avatar I would use his pic now as an Avatar if he where mine he is ammazing cant wait to see what they produce as the most esteemd Betta suplyer has said they are a jurney to watch and they wernt rong Cheers Les
kertaz Posted June 30, 2011 Report Posted June 30, 2011 I like the new growout tanks. How big is that tank? The fish has certainly changed quite a bit. Maybe one of the fry will look like him when you bought him home.
shadoh Posted June 30, 2011 Author Report Posted June 30, 2011 Hey, thanks the tank holds about 40lts. It will be nice if I get a one that looks like him. Then again, I might get an amazing one that looks like nothing I could imagine... :D
sunnylass Posted July 1, 2011 Report Posted July 1, 2011 Psssst I have spare tanks here LOL. I got ripped off with the marble girls I bought off you, they are both now just a pretty teal colour all over LOL.
Bettarazzi Posted July 2, 2011 Report Posted July 2, 2011 Thought you were going to join me in the breeder badge quest when I saw the title. LOL. How did you make the duvider? And how does it stay upright? Is it glued in place?
shadoh Posted July 2, 2011 Author Report Posted July 2, 2011 It's not stuck in, just wedged. It is made out of plastic canvas with file dividers on all 4 sides to make a rigid frame. It does a great job and means I can either remove or move it to suit whatever is in the tank. As for joining you on your breeding badge quest, I am flat out with one species and their quirks *lol*
