Callatya Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 Erm, i'm unsure of sex still, judging by the size and the fact that it isn't vicious, it might be female, but the fins look a bit wrong :? Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 Nice clean colour, the tail looks abit short, i think thats why it looks a little wrong, but very nice. From that pic, i would say female. Were there many in that spawn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quokka Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 *phew*... glad I'm not the only one with tranny-fish Very nice fishy whatever the sex is... MMMM...and the body looks to be slender more in line with the boys too... How old is this spunky fish ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callatya Posted June 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 age? about 3-4 months I think. And erm, surviving? about 8? of a spawn of about 150? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quokka Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 I just had a flashback...I now remember when you turn the lights off and shine a torch thru the above Tranny-fish...you might get a good look at eggs or lack of ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callatya Posted June 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 there is definately a lack thereof, but that could be an age thing too, they don't produce eggs until they are sexually mature It should work on her/him though soon :thumbs: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quokka Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 We should have a little poll...boy vs: girl.. Is he sprouting yet !? :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callatya Posted June 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 he is but is still being very well behaved, so is still in the swimmy tank for a week or so more. Here he is with a tankmate from the same spawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quokka Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 awwww...its a sad day when you have to separate them out of the swimmy-tank... :grouphug: ...i have to do that to mine too and feel sorry for the one who's about to become a loner !..

quokka Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 mmm...Is that a touch of irridescent green on his tail there...such pretty-pretty fish....he is such a biggun compared to his tank-mate there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callatya Posted June 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 he has a sort of greeny-grey smudgey BF pattern. its not even, but its kinda cute. I'm thinking he will make a fitting replacement for Sleet (my mother's *stolen* betta who is about 3 1/2) when the time comes. :notsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callatya Posted July 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Finally jarred, much to his disgust! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckie Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 he's coming along nicely . Looks like his daddy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callatya Posted July 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 He is a lot dirtier than his daddy unfortunately, but he is the sweetest fish. I'm going to give him to my mother I think, as Sleet doesn't have too long left in him, and this little man should do well with all the pampering she gives :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
