Najoha Posted July 3, 2005 Report Posted July 3, 2005 Here are my best spawn yet! They are out of Lily's dark blue (black) ct and an lfs royal ct. Slow to grow they were spawned in Feb, 6 survive 3 boys(2 with pics and one steel) and 3 girls, 2 blacks and one cambo yes cambo This guy is in the spawning tank with his sis as i can't wait for F2 And this guy is a bit interesting What is there colour called by the way?
Callatya Posted July 3, 2005 Report Posted July 3, 2005 Just a bit interesting huh? He is pretty nifty :thumbs:
Chuckie Posted July 3, 2005 Report Posted July 3, 2005 black orchid is what I would call the finless one. I'm glad they turned out so well!
Najoha Posted July 4, 2005 Author Report Posted July 4, 2005 The top one is black with only a hint of blue but with a flash Still in two minds about breeding the finless guy. He is pretty fiesty
Figure_8 Posted July 7, 2005 Report Posted July 7, 2005 Is the missing dorsal genetic? Were there many others in the spawn that were finless too? He looks streamlined and built for speed!
Chuckie Posted July 7, 2005 Report Posted July 7, 2005 maybe spawning him can be an experiment, like the ventralless one!
quokka Posted July 7, 2005 Report Posted July 7, 2005 he looks so cool...so does he have any swimming navigating difficulties...he looks very well fed and happy healthy lil boy ! :protest:
Najoha Posted July 9, 2005 Author Report Posted July 9, 2005 Only one in the spawn, also one of the biggest. Definately no swimming probs and has the biggest tail spread when flaring but very hard to catch. By the way the boy in the first pic is a daddy to his sis whom is black orchid. free swimming today and dad has just been taken out. About 25 babies and no damage to either parent :protest:
Phil Posted July 9, 2005 Report Posted July 9, 2005 congrats on the cts Jo, i really like black orchids
Chuckie Posted July 10, 2005 Report Posted July 10, 2005 I'm so glad you had better luck than I did getting black orchid males. I had a hugely disproportionate number of females whenever I spawned them.
