Fishchick Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 it's actually a japanese blue grass - not that it makes more sense!! Moscow blues are almost raven black. The "grass" types have the lovely spotting pattern in the tail. My first spawn of blue grass were almost sold off as culls as the males had a lot of red in the tail. It was only as they matured that the red faded and the strong blue colour in the tail appeared. Cheers, J :giggle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Are the males with the really long opivosor (is that right, you know the modified mating fin) still able to breed successfully? I have thought about getting a nice pair but was worried i would get a 'dud' male? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callatya Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 gonopodioum (makes me think of that gladiators show of the 90s) I was wondering the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillieOrCory Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 The long gonopodium ones are unable to mate. You need the short finned males that carry the long fin gene to breed them. ie: homozygous ones - gonopodius longius no action heterozygous ones - gonopodius shortius action Jackson :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
