Nicola Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 (edited) They should be there. someone has a shipment that is out of quarantine. Things are a little backlogged at the moment, as she's short staffed. Try sending an email or phoning the store (don't call the mobile - she had it stolen by some lowlife) Thanks, shall send a email, bugger bout someone stealing her mobile though. O.o Wow she must be getting alot of emails to have an auto generated email sent right back :lol: Edited November 11, 2011 by Nicola Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadoh Posted November 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 Piña Colada... Mmmmm.. I like the sound of that! Looks like you've named the spawn if successful Good thing is, if Dumbo ever learns to wrap properly, she is a perfect match for him :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadoh Posted November 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 I'll get red salamander and red/blue marble (unless of course one of the females parents was yellow. If so, throw yellow salamander and yellow/blue versions as well...) Glad you like :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted November 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Wow... Never seen a female launch herself out of the water and bellyflop into the middle of a nest before.... I guess she didn't like it... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted November 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 In the other spawn tank, male is ignoring female and flaring at random pieces of java moss. Leave it to my fish to invent creative ways to sabotage a spawn. got to laugh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted November 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 There's a storm brewing that should hit either late tonight/tomorrow. I've still got the 2 pair from 2 weeks ago in the spawn tanks - I'll give them a water change and see if that, in combination with the storm will put them in the mood...

les Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 good luck Jarrod I hope they spawn this time round Cheers Les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted November 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 We didn't get the storm, but it has been drizzling all morning and both males are building nests for the first time in more than a week. I'll release the girls this afternoon :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted December 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Given my success a couple of weeks ago, I figure it is time to try again to fire up my other spawn tank and try a second spawn. Think I will try Pauls black orchid girl again with one ( not sure which one) of my plakat boys... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melbournebetta Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 is that one of the orchid CTs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted December 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Sure is. I'm still wanting to attempt a CTPK line from scratch :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Good luck!!! Hopefully they will spawn easily. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted December 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Well, it is obvious the above attempt was a failure. I put the same pair back in together a day or 2 back. The male virtually went downhill immediately (floating near top, fins clamped, loss of colour), so I pulled him out after a few hours and he perked back up. I introduced a black dragon to the black orchid girly, but by this morning, she was the same as the first male. I pulled her out and put her back in her tank and within an hour, she was back to normal. I've tested the water just in case that was an issue. All parameters are fine. So, I pulled out the dragon boy and added a new pair. Red Copper HMPK Male (from my orange marble spawn) x Extended Red Cambodian Crowntail Female (one of Paul's (Busman)Red Rocket girlies) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0orAUitsS2o I realise that the result will be red/blue multi cTs, but, as it will take a few generations to get good CTPK finnage, I can be selecting for colour at the same time. Hopefully, in several generations, I will get the copper colouring back. My perfect outcome would be a nicely formed CTPK with a copper body and red fins :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

les Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) Hey Jarrod, Hope they get it together for you. I must admit I do like the thought of starting from scratch to produce a quality end product. Cheers Les Edited December 29, 2011 by les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted December 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 A lot of work, but if it works out, you can lay claim to your own line If they breed, it will be the first true Brisbane Bettas spawn (1 fish Paul has bred x 1 fish I have bred) It may take a while though. The male is young and hasn't left the females jar alone all day (so no bubblenest) Now he is hiding in a pot and playing peek-a-boo with her. Bloody show ponies!!!!!How is your symmetrical line progressing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted December 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 YES!!! He has calmed down somewhat and started to build a nest under the cup... Stay tuned! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted December 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 About to crawl out of bed and check on these guys. With any luck, the male will have a nice big nest blown. I'll release the female and gauge where to go depending on their initial interaction :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted December 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 No nest this morning. The male is back to making a goose of himself in front of the females jar. Looks like he is more keen than her at this stage. I've given them a big feed of mozzie wrigglers and will see how things progress throughout the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
