Callatya Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 OK, so i'll start with ordinary first I was after a DT, and this little lassie was close to what I was after, nice even lobes, even if they are VT. i *think* she is some sort of marble or loss, because that colour under the irridescence isn't very stable. And then there was this one. I thought it might be a boy, but it barred up, and i think I see eggs, I'm after opinions though I LOVE spadetails, so boy or girl, this one was coming home Kinda a fun colour too, like my old Laurance And Stefan, NO she isn't bent all funny, she has a very straight topline, but i'd just severely overfed her on blackworms so it pulled her all out of shape. Now, the gem I love this girl! OK, not HM, but the ray splits and the spread aren't half bad, and for $4?? She is awesome! She is over in Critique for anyone that wants to play :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckie Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 I think I see eggs in Mr/Ms Spadetail! Beautiful fish that one, intense purple with orange fins. Had my eye on her if Abbey had put her back. Maybe one of Marcus' orange kids would like to play? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(He's got some gorgeous spadetail boys and girls (orange, red and yellow) who are nearly ready to go). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettabegood Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 BARGAINS!!!! The DT VT girl is intriguing; I look forward to seeing pics of young DT VTs. They should turn out to be really nice. I too suspect the spadetail is a girl. Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splendidbetta Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 And Stefan, NO she isn't bent all funny, she has a very straight topline, but i'd just severely overfed her on blackworms so it pulled her all out of shape. And I was about to say "what on earth possessed you to..." But she is very interesting. I would not be surprised if that's what VT females actually look like. And that the other females at the lfs are actually PKs. BTW, she is a female. There are obvious ovaries showing through her side. No male has that. The DT VT female looks bruised. I would keep her in some ketapang and melafix, if she looks like that in real life. The green female is a real gem. Do you have any plans for her?

Phil Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Its a shame that the VT females colours didnt show up the same as they were, a brilliant purple and apricot orange fins. I almost bought it! Mabey one of Jodis VT males might suit that female abbey? you could supply intresting VTs to the LFS around here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callatya Posted January 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 I've looked over the DT, she does look like that, but I don't think its bruising. She has a red layer thats morphing and its making her look mighty odd. She has her own jar now with a little plant etc, and she's in ketapang like the rest, so we'll see I'm pretty sure its just a colour change. Tellie (spadetail gal got named) seems to be a longtail female. VT females are definately shorttail generally, I remember early on in the game when everyone was breeding VTs that they were getting shorttail girls. I'd like to get more of those spadetails, i think they are stunning! She's a little long to have some serious "wow" but she's not far off! THe reason I was hesitant to say "girl" is because of Anna, who may or may not have been a girl, who refused to breed with Brutus, my male. He built a lovely nest, so I dearly hope that Anna was a girl, but it would go a long way to explaining Brutus's lack of willingness if s/he was a man. I think green girl is going to be spawned and passed around a fair bit :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splendidbetta Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 I am sure as sure that she is a girl, and if I am wrong (which I doubt very much) then you can turn me black-and-blue -when you come to Melb of course :rofl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
