Ned Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 hey guys i had a pic of one of my females in another thread, but i think she deserves her own this time... her coloring is awesome and she spreads like a champ! do you think she is hm? or close to it even? let me know what you guys think.. i like her tail colorings... reminds me of a guppy lol.

y2jdaze Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 ooo she's pretty I'd be guessing that there's definitely some HM, maybe even as far as Rosetail in her by the way her fins are shaped (or have tankmates been nippy?)??? I'm no expert someone else will probably know the answer though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callatya Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Quite lovely! With a bit of work she might get a full 180* it looks like she is SD at the moment, but not far off! Technically, because of the rounded edges, she isn't your textbook HM, but a 180* spread on a girl is nothing to be scoffed at, rounded edges or not! Quite long fins too, and nicely in proportion IMO, I really like her :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splendidbetta Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 For some reason she looks like she's a male. Interesting fish :cheer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callatya Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 She does hey, those clear fin edges really give it that appearance. Doesn't seem to flare like a boy though, and it has stubby ventrals and that odd pot-belly look, so I think it probably is a girly. Have been known to be wrong though! This is the annoying thing about colourful girls with longer fins and males popping up with ovipositors and piddly ventrals :cheer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Posted May 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Thanks everonye... i had/still have a feeling she's a male too.. but i dont think she is... when you say "With a bit of work she might get a full 180*" what do you mean by a bit of work? i hope its not plastic surgery.

Celeste84 Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 ROFL! they simply mean that exercising (with a mirror) will help her extend her caudal to 180* :cheer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckie Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 she looks like a juvenile rosetail male to me. Stubby ventrals are a rosetail characteristic. Hope I am wrong, she'd be a great female! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Posted May 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 im getting sus about alot more then just s/him.. i got one female who has a bubble nest and is bigger then my males.. but she has a big tummy and what looks like that little egg hole. i didnt think sexing my females would be a problem cause i though they were all females lol.

Callatya Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Where are you finding these hotties?? It looks boy-shaped to me, but its hard to tell from the photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Posted May 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 i got them all from a nice guy on this forum, he stopped breeding so i took most of his fish.. i have some amazing looking girls, but just no males to breed them with maybe i should look into that breeder exchange program. ill try take some more pics.

Chuckie Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 she is a HM male. She'll sprout soon. That's my prediction what a spunk. Who is the nice guy you got the fish from? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Posted May 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 like a big big HM male or a HMPK? im kinda hopin your right lol, cause there is another one that looks like him in the female tank... oh sh*t i better take "him" out too lol. i got all these lovely monkeys from ratthanuwat, he doesnt have many left lol.. if any... i took most.

Ned Posted June 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 hey guys... the blue girl... which i also tried to spawn lol ended up to be a male... i put (now him) infront of his spawn brother and they both flared up like crazy after a few mins... then i showed him a mirror and he went nuts at it.. so im pretty sure he's a male. i took a few pics off my new phone, but there not as good as my old phone... even though there both 2mp. hes been nipped at a few times cause he was in the spawning tank with another male lol... he was there for quite a while too, about 2 weeks i think. its so strange they never killed each other. oh now im starting to think hes a females again lol. his spawn brother is in the background.

Bettarazzi Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 Well... there you go... now you've got males to spawn with all those great females... unless they all turn out to be male PKs ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celeste84 Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 awesome news, those are some great males i'd say the marble will be a longfin. and don't worry, i kept all my young males together well past that stage of development and they never killed each other either, for some reason boys raised together are more tolerant of each other (as opposed to introduced males) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Posted June 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 im not that stoked lol... i had great males to breed (him) with lol... now i have no blue females... actually... i do have 3... but i dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celeste84 Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 well, you could always sell the males off, or trade them with a fellow enthusiast for females :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
