luv_my_fish Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 ...Can you use the same female again? The White Opaque HMPK female I used in my current spawn is obviously a good breeder (plenty of eggs and even helped with egg collection), and I want to use her again so I can start to try and get my 'Panda HMPK' line. I was talking to Les about it briefly yesterday, and now I'm super keen to start. It has been a little over a week since she was taken out of the spawn tank, and I have been partly conditioning her since then. There is another full moon in a few days...Do you think it would be wise to try her in the spawn tank again with another male? I know I should just be more patient, but, you know... Thoughts?

shadoh Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 I'd give it a try. If she looks like she is getting full of eggs again, why not? I know people who have spawned the female again after only a few days (I wouldn't recommend it though ) a couple of weeks between spawnings is plenty of time IMO...

somchai2500 Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Most things I have read said that between 14-16 days for the eggs to be ready. You can try it is up to them if the timing is right. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luv_my_fish Posted October 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Well she looks pretty full of eggs again. I suppose, just because I put her in the spawn tank doesn't mean that anything will happen...I hope it does though lol I just feel bad, because the male from the pair I was GOING to spawn has made a nice bubblenest and everything...then I will be kicking him out so that the new male has time to get all macho over his new surroundings. Mmm yeah...I'm going to give it a try :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luv_my_fish Posted October 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 I've decided that no, I'm not going to give it a try. For some reason, I'm getting a 'Puppy Farm' vibe from going ahead with this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
les Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 (edited) Hi LMF Dont be silly Mel Its a fish farm not a puppy farm LOL. Zacs girls fill up with eggs fast and she may well be ready allready. I dont think its anything like a puppy farm what you are doing and I for one will be after a panda if you have a few from the match we where talking about when you where over. I have some spare containers for jarring if thats whats troubling you and I can get my hands on some shelving I think so ther wont be much cost and as far as food goes you can have some of the large grindels boxes so I say go for it Girl Cheers les Edited October 11, 2011 by les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luv_my_fish Posted October 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 LOL thanks Les! Well I've changed my mind again and decided that I WILL go ahead with it, but don't be suprised if in a few hours my mind is changed again lol.
