CNgo2006 Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 I especially like the male giant. He would go nicely with my giant yellow dragon gal! Goodluck with these spawns! Aren't you gonna follow the world's best breeders advice and spawn them in a bucket? LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted July 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 You know what he can do with his bucket..... Thanks Chi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted September 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 I have forgotten what a successful wrap looks like. I have set up 4 spawn tanks in the hopes that at least one will be successful. No photos. Didn't have time. Spawn 1 - Champion Spawn Male: White Dragon Giant HMPK (1st place winner at Ekka) Female: Fancy Dragon Jumbo HM (3rd place in her class division at recent BA Show) Spawn 2 - Metal Dragon Spawn Male: Metallic Mustard Gas Dragon SD Female: Blue Metallic Multi Dragon Dumbo HMPK Spawn 3 - Copper Red cTPK Spawn Lost the CTPK male for this female. Thankfully, I had been working on Copper Red HMPKs. Male: Copper Red HMPK Female: Copper Red CTPK Spawn 4 - Orange Marble CT Spawn Male: Orange Cambodian CT Female: Red Marble Cambodian CT Can't wait to see any results!

shadoh Posted September 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Hey Shadoh, I seriously know exactly what I'm missing Good luck with the upcoming spawns. I know you have been wanting a CTPK spawn for close to 18 months now. Can we take bets on which pair will spawn first? Can I place a bet on the pair that will never have a successful spawn? PS: I think you'll get more comments with photos. I know I'll comment on your posts more Cheers Shadoh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted September 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Lol... You do realize you are talking to yourself, right? And as for the photos, it didn't stop you from posting... The CTPK spawn not looking promising, there are 2 other spawns that have a better chance. Perhaps this boy is too young. He seems excited to have the extra space, but nowhere near interested in the female and has staked out a hidy hole in the weed. Best of luck with the spawns :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletch Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 It's official.........you have lost the plot. Lol. Something is bound to breed for you. Good luck mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted September 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Thanks guys @ Shadoh - Busman in right, you've finally flipped. I've suspected it was the case for some time now. And yes, I am sure something will breed for you. @ Busman - Just checked on them. There are 2 tanks with big nests - the CTs and the Metallics, so will probably let them out for a run today. No activity in the CTPK tank and you know what's going on in the Giant tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Nut Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 I read your posts. However, most of the time I don't want to appear to be a stalker with no life outside of the forum, so know that I read in spirit Since you bred her, I thought you might like to see a photo of one of the females I got from you ages ago. Sadly her sister who was my favourite female died of some kind of bacterial infection. I think you need to try some more marble HMPK spawns. I don't think there are enough around for my liking.

shadoh Posted September 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 She turned out very nice. Shame about the other girl. I wish I had kept more of those girls. I don't have any now. I'd love to get some marble HMPK spawns happening, but have no marble HMPKs to breed. I'll have to make do with marble CTs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Nut Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 Yeah the other female was stunning. She ended up going orange with large sections of black over her body and she had the kind of chunky form I like in my females. Good luck with all your proposed spawns. I simply couldn't imagine having that many pairs on the go. That's crazy even if you don't count the talking to yourself :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted September 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 4 setups and such a disaster I think I'll give Splendens a break for a while and wait to see what my wilds do. First tank, my place winning "female" HM is a male HMPK with an egg spot. 2nd tank, the female jumped out of the chimney and jumped out of the spawn tank and is in a bad way. The 3rd tank, the female jumped out of the chimney and has destroyed the males finnage. The 4th tank,after a promising start, the female has chased the male away from the nest and is now defending her territory. Will separate and try again at a later date.

Wild Nut Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 See this is why I like wilds. I can never be bothered with the whole spawning process of splendens. My wilds just stuff themselves, do their thing and ignore their fry until I need to move them. I wish you could take the aggression down a notch in domesticated splendens so that their breeding habits aren't going to result in maiming and deaths. It would be so much easier if male/female pairs could be kept together in relative peace. Sorry that none of your spawns have worked out. Hopefully your wilds do something soon. If not maybe it's time for some guppies *lol* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted September 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 On a brighter note, my male Channoides is holding again. Hopefully he will hold full term this time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted October 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Getting ready to set up some new spawns this week. Think I'll give my male Black Orchid rescue a whirl. He has picked up well and is quite feisty. I'll put him with my Black Lace HMPK female and give my DIY CTPK line another go. What do I have to lose? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOxPHrcr3zg&feature=youtube_gdata_player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted October 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 I think Busmans Red Rabbits made it out of his rabbit proof fence and are now over here. Thank the gods I have a dog who likes digging.... *lol* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadoh Posted October 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Turquoise HM pair just started wrapping. Will start a spawn log when eggs hatch. I don't have any photos of this pair. Briztoon took one of the male while at the September Show. Hang on.... I'll go look for it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forever_and_a_day Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 gorgeous boy, really impressive finnage! what's up with those fat ventrals though? reminds me of the extremely flared pants i coveted when i was young :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadoh Posted October 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Thanks guys, MT - he looks like he is carrying a pair of fans Les, the black orchid is currently set up with the red copper CTPK girl. I will probably let her out in a day or two... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
